Experience

  • ElleITSolutions pour Renault group
    VMO Manager
    AUTOMOBILE
    September 2025 - May 2026 (8 months)
    Boulogne-Billancourt, France
    As part of a transition management mission, I took over the responsibility of a Vendor Management Office to secure software contract management and re-establish effective governance in a transformation context.

    I restructured the organization, supported a team of Contract Managers, and directly managed relationships with about ten strategic software vendors in a complex environment, in collaboration with Business, IT, Procurement, Legal, and Finance departments.

    I implemented governance bodies, redefined contract and renewal management processes, structured budget monitoring, and built dashboards to improve visibility and decision-making.

    This mission helped secure software renewals, strengthen strategic vendor governance, and restore sustainable VMO operations.

    Here is an example of an achievement, others are described in my CV:

    >Complex project to relocate 4 data centers (spread across 2 sites 900 km apart) to a hybrid cloud infrastructure, over a period of 30 months during the Covid-19 pandemic (*).

    The project faced several challenges leading to repeated crises:
    • Successive changes in project managers on the client and service provider sides
    • 50% delay in the functional specifications phase, with an unfinished IT architecture
    • On-site mobility constraints for staff (*)
    • Initial budget of 2 million euros already spent, with no new budget planned
    • Tight deadlines and closing dates for the old data centers to be met
    To address these difficulties, I implemented:
     Crisis governance on 3 axes: contract/specifications, revision of project scenarios, resource management
     Significant contractual revisions (hosting clause, new addendums), including an audit of penalty application risks
    Despite these challenges, the project was ultimately delivered within the revised deadlines, with a budget overrun of 1 million euros (negotiated with the client). Objectives were met for both parties, without major service interruption or penalties
