Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Emmanuel
An IT engineer by training, I gradually evolved from development to project management, then to a dual AMOA/MOE (Business Analysis/IT Development) expertise, before holding product manager, pre-sales, and finally CIO positions.
This journey allows me today to connect strategic vision with operational reality — a decisive asset in the success of complex IT projects.
After 22 years of experience in software publishing, transportation, and agribusiness, I founded APEL CONSEIL to support SMEs and mid-sized companies in their digital transformation.
My conviction: IT should be a performance lever, not a source of tension.
What I bring concretely:
🔹 Outsourced CIO / IT Transition Manager — strategic steering, IT system structuring, budget management, team management. Available on a part-time basis or for ad-hoc missions.
🔹 IT Flash Audit — rapid diagnosis (2 to 5 days), risk mapping, action prioritization. Ideal for a leader who wants to regain control of their IT.
🔹 Project Management / Direction — ERP, CRM, dematerialization, migration. Projects that are well-defined, delivered on time, and understood by all stakeholders.
🔹 IT Governance & Strategy — framing, roadmap, AMOA, IT/business alignment.
🔹 Change Management — communication, adoption, support for business teams.
My strengths:
✔️ Keen listening and needs analysis
✔️ Smooth communication between technical and business teams
✔️ Global vision and rigorous execution
✔️ Human, direct, and reliable approach
