Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With a background as a general engineer, I had the opportunity to successively hold positions as a consultant at Altran, then as Manager of CRM and Business Solutions Practices, and as Director at Values Associates for the past five years. During this time, I was involved in organizational consulting and project management, primarily digital, for major clients in the Media, Telecoms, Gaming, and Leisure sectors.

I have been responsible for organizing and managing strategic programs in various areas (Gaming Terminals, Real Estate Projects, Web Application Development, etc.).

In each of my assignments, I quickly identified objectives, challenges, and constraints, and proposed the most suitable project management framework to best serve the organization.

Motivated by structuring complex projects, designing and deploying new solutions, and managing teams, I bring my listening skills, organization, rigor, and creativity.

Today, I wish to leverage my talents in roles such as Project Director / Program Director / PMO or Business Owner for activities related to innovation, digital transformation, and customer and employee experience.
