Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Complex programs and project director — 20 years of experience in managing high-stakes digital initiatives.

I intervene when the context is demanding: troubled program to take over, organization in transition, delivery to secure. Banking (UBS), telecom (Orange), maritime transport (CMA CGM), SaaS.

The sector is changing — the mission remains the same: make execution predictable. What I bring:

→ Large-scale program management — SAFe trains up to 130 people, budgets up to €1.5M

→ Transition management — I have taken over organizations mid-flight and handed them over in better condition

→ AI-powered steering — I design and deploy custom AI agents to improve delivery: spec quality, backlog steering, drift alerts. What I build for my clients, I practice myself first.

→ Large accounts & AI: I understand the real stakes — data sovereignty, governance, change management — that cause AI projects to fail before they even go into production.

→ Agile / SAFe culture, full remote, bilingual FR/EN

In parallel with my missions, I am developing DeliverAI — an AI assistant embedded in Jira and Confluence that helps teams deliver better: user story quality, backlog consistency, sprint steering. Designed first for POs, extended to Project Managers.

Available for Project Director, Program Manager or Transition Management missions.

Based in Nice. Full remote or occasional travel to Sophia-Antipolis / Monaco.
