About François

With over 20 years of experience as a manager of R&D teams and departments, primarily in the media and telecom industries, I have acquired expertise in building and managing high-performing organizations operating in complex technical environments with stringent requirements for timing and software quality.

Having held VP Engineering responsibilities several times, I am well-positioned to understand both the expectations and constraints of top management and the motivational levers for technical and product teams.

I now offer to support companies that need to structure/scale their methods and organizations to maximize the value delivered to their customers, by implementing the principles of agility, the lean approach, and OKRs, all while adapting to the company's context.
