About Loïc

I help Swiss organisations get the most out of their technology — without the overhead of a full-time IT executive.

With 20+ years of IT leadership across pharma, biotech, manufacturing and finance, I bring senior-level strategic thinking and hands-on delivery to every engagement. Whether you need a fractional CIO, a cloud migration on Azure or AWS, or a cybersecurity programme built around what you already own (Microsoft 365, Sentinel, Purview), I focus on outcomes that appear on your P&L — not just your IT roadmap.

My background includes:
→ Associate Director IT at Ichnos Sciences (CHF 5M+ budget, GxP/FDA 21 CFR Part 11)
→ Head of IT & Delivery at SII Switzerland / CSL Vifor (Zurich)
→ Cloud migrations, SIEM/SOAR deployments, insider risk programmes, AWS Cloud WAN
→ Certifications: Azure AZ-104, AWS SAA-C02, Azure Sentinel, CrowdStrike Falcon
