About Farid

Arts et Métiers engineer (ParisTech), I have been leading digital and IT transformation programs in industry for over 13 years – from defining the strategic vision to go-live and post-deployment support.

My playground: complex industrial environments (automotive, hydrogen, agri-food) where one must simultaneously speak the language of the shop floor and the COMEX. It is this dual perspective – ground-level and board-level – that allows me to secure heavy technological investments and align business and IT teams.

What I bring concretely:
▸ End-to-end D365 F&O program management: scoping, deployment, post go-live
▸ Structuring the IT systems of new entities (JVs, industrial startups) from inception
▸ Strategic scoping and IT master plan
▸ Industry 4.0 and decarbonization expertise in the automotive industry
▸ Transition management and multi-stakeholder program governance

Career highlights:
▸ Renault Vehicle Innovation (Freelance) — end-to-end D365 F&O transformation management
▸ HYVIA — Renault/Plug Power JV: D365 F&O management from creation to production
▸ CGI Business Consulting — Manager, Renault assignments (Industry 4.0, decarbonization, hydrogen)
▸ Accenture Strategy — strategic consulting for automotive manufacturers and industrial leaders

Available for freelance assignments in IT program direction, transition management, or IT master planning in the industrial sector.
