About Manuel

IT Program Manager and PMO, I have been involved for over ten years in complex digital projects within leading international organizations. My experience has allowed me to lead portfolios of up to 60 projects, manage multi-million dollar budgets, and supervise multidisciplinary teams, both internal and external, of up to 25 people.

Certified PMP, SAFe, and PSM-I, I am proficient in Agile, DevOps, and cloud environments, as well as associated tools (Jira, AWS, CI/CD, ServiceNow CSM).
I have supported groups such as BNP Paribas, L'Oréal, Meetic, and Desjardins in transforming their delivery practices, industrializing their platforms, modernizing their IS, and improving operational performance.

My motivation? To learn, share, and help every project reach its full potential.
