About Merveille

Are you leading a Data or AI project and need a Product Owner who truly understands the technical side?

I'm the person you're looking for. With 5 years of experience on major projects (ENGIE, EY, Orange), I manage your Data & AI products from start to finish, from scoping to team adoption.
What sets me apart: I don't just manage a backlog. I get hands-on with SQL data, Power BI, flow monitoring, and incident resolution. I speak the language of your technical teams AND your business units. I've even deployed AI agents for clients myself, so I know what it takes to build a real AI product, not just specify it.

I can help you with:
  • Agile management of your Data & AI projects (backlog, sprints, delivery, adoption)
  • Scoping and deployment of your AI agents (LLM benchmark, functional specifications, AI acceptance criteria, testing)
  • Building your high-impact business analytics platforms and Power BI reports
  • Training and change management for your teams
Achievements

  • EY: PO on an internal AI agent project in an international context
  • Orange France: Integrated cross-functional sources (Finance, Marketing, IT, Security), adopted Power BI by over 10 users

Merveille completed an excellent mission as a Business Analyst. Very professional, committed, and proactive, she quickly grasped the challenges and provided real added value throughout the mission. Her seriousness, adaptability, and the quality of her interactions with the teams were particularly appreciated. It was a real pleasure to work with her, and I recommend her without hesitation.

Working with Merveille was very pleasant, as she was always smiling and positive. She persevered despite sometimes overly technical projects. More initiative and stepping back could have been beneficial, but the context of ongoing company reorganization during the mission did not make things easier.
