About Karim

Freelance IT professional with over 10 years of experience, working as a Data Product Owner and IT Program Director for large and medium-sized French companies — Edenred, Groupement Les Mousquetaires, Damart, OFII, Conseil d'État.

My playground: managing complex data products and programs, from strategy to production — CDP, Data Marketplace, Data Governance, Cloud migration, IT integration — in multi-partner, multi-brand, and multi-business environments.
What sets me apart today: I integrate AI into my missions and the teams I support.
Concretely, this means:
— Faster generation and structuring of backlogs and user stories
— Data documentation (dictionaries, lineage, business rules) produced in one sprint
— Accelerated reporting and decision-making summaries
— Support for IT and business teams in the operational use of AI (Claude, GenAI)
I don't sell AI to be modern. I use it to deliver better and faster, and to help my clients take the leap without getting lost in theory.

Through NearSide Consulting, I also mobilize a network of qualified freelancers for missions requiring complementary expertise.
What I'm looking for: Data PO, IT Program Management, or Data & AI transformation support missions — freelance, on-site, or hybrid.
📩 Do you have a data project, a roadmap to structure, or a team to onboard onto AI? Let's talk.
