I bring on-demand expertise without the constraints of a full-time position. Available for assignments in France and internationally.
Passionate and versatile, I have climbed all the IT ranks in over 10 years: from systems and network technician to IT Director & CISO. This ascent has equipped me with a 360° view of the technological and security challenges of modern businesses.
My unconventional background is my strength. I've touched everything, understood the workings of each level, and today, as a freelancer, I put this global expertise at the service of companies.
Strategic Assistance to Leaders:
- Assistance in decision-making on IT and security investments
- Translation of technical challenges into business language
- Alignment of IT strategy with company objectives
Tailored Security & Support:
- In-depth analysis of existing systems and future needs
- Creation of concrete and achievable action plans
- Monitoring and adjustment of implemented strategies
- Support for compliance and certification (ISO27001, SOC2)
- Creation and implementation of IT systems for SMEs/start-ups
Unique AI Expertise:
As CISO at Stability AI ($101M Series A), I was directly involved in the creation of Stable Diffusion, the most widely used open-source model for image generation.
This experience gives me a deep understanding of the security and ethical challenges related to AI.
Whether you are a fast-growing start-up or a large company seeking expertise, I am here to transform your technological challenges into strategic opportunities.
