About Jérome

Executive Transition Manager | BU & Campus Management | AI & Data Transformation
Presentation:
Facing a leadership vacancy, a drop in profitability, or the urgency to integrate AI, I secure your operations within 48 hours. As an Executive Transition Manager, I act as a Business Unit or Campus Director to turn around your profit centers and transform your business models.
🎯 What I bring you concretely:
Continuity & Turnaround: Immediate takeover of your structure, flash audit in 10 days, and a shock plan to stop losses and restore margins.
Financial Discipline: Rigorous management of complex P&Ls (€20 to €50 million) and implementation of dynamic KPIs.
Human Stabilization: Crisis management, social dialogue management, and team alignment (consultants, administrative staff, managers).
⚡ My added value & Differentiation:
Coming from the creative industries (former Project Director at Universal Music), I combine a culture of hyper-performance with expertise in private higher education (academic governance, RNCP certifications, Qualiopi). My unique strength? Data Storytelling and the integration of Generative AI as an immediate productivity lever for your processes and brand imagination.
🛠️ Types of projects & Regular deliverables:
Transition management: Stand-in for a leader at short notice or campus management (500 to 3000 students).
Financial & HR deliverables: Flash audit reports, budget restructuring plans, team reorganization schemes.
Engineering & Technology: Modernization of educational models and tailor-made blueprints for integrating Generative AI by profession (prompts, tools, security).
Closure: Turnkey handover plan for your permanent successor.
Structured as an independent, I work on a fixed-fee or daily rate basis. Let's discuss to secure your objectives.
