Description

IT Project Director with 20+ years of experience on complex projects: infrastructure, cloud, migrations, obsolescence, security...

I step in when you need to:

- Structure a project or portfolio (scoping, roadmap, risks, budget, governance)

- Manage a complex project (multi-team, multi-site, vendors, critical issues)

- Secure a migration (cloud, datacenter, maintenance in operational condition, obsolescence, modernization)

- Regain visibility and control (reporting, risks, dependencies, trade-offs)

- Strengthen cross-functional coordination (IT, business units, suppliers, RUN, security)

Pragmatic, results-oriented approach with a strong sense of service: I am immediately operational, autonomous, reliable, and accustomed to high-stakes environments.
