About Louis

Since my career change in 2015, I have built an atypical path, guided by curiosity, versatility, and a constant desire to learn. Each assignment has allowed me to broaden my vision: technical, functional, organizational, and strategic.

After several years at the heart of technology, I gradually evolved towards project management, with a strong conviction: a good project manager must understand the challenges on the ground as well as the business expectations.

Today, I manage complex IT projects in critical and demanding environments: telecommunications, nuclear, banking, public sector, real estate. My strength: taking a high-level view to structure, arbitrate, and engage multidisciplinary teams, while remaining capable of getting into the details when the context requires it.

Versatile and adaptable, I support organizations in their technological transformations with a pragmatic, tailor-made approach, adapted to each client, each project, and each corporate culture.

What motivates me daily: understanding subjects from end to end, solving complex problems, and seeing my clients make concrete progress.

Looking for a committed project manager, capable of adapting to your environment and bringing real added value? Let's talk.
