About Jean-Philippe

I intervene as a CTO or transition transformation director when technology becomes a strategic issue (FinTech, Banking, Payment): critical platform to secure, delivery to regain control, or scaling to prepare (NIRIO / FDJ, MOBIP).

My background combines operational technical expertise, executive leadership, and business acumen, acquired in regulated environments (BPCE, Société Générale CIB, La Banque Postale).

I have designed and deployed payment and data platforms from scratch (MOBIP, Fundr.ai), managed multi-site teams, and led complex, high-impact programs (up to 100,000 person-days – BPCE).

My role: to bring clarity, make decisions, arbitrate, and deliver, with a real mandate and measurable results (Axway, eFront / BlackRock).

Available for high-responsibility transition assignments.
