Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a Project Manager/Functional Consultant, an expert in IT systems for financing (Credit and Leasing). During my twenty years of experience, I have developed four main areas in my professional career:

• Extensive experience as a functional consultant and MOA project manager, primarily characterized by:

o Significant experience in coordinating between different stakeholders (Business, IT Development, software vendors, management, etc.)

o Strong communication, adaptability to different contexts, and relationship-building skills.

o Good expertise in facilitating workshops with stakeholders from various domains.

o Mastery of the different phases of an IT project, as well as production site management.

• Specialization in the financing sector (credit and leasing). Being in constant contact with the business, I have acquired functional expertise in the various types of financing on the market (mortgage loans, medium and long-term loans, consumer credit, auto credit, leasing, financial leasing, long-term rental, revolving credit, etc.).

• International experience with major clients. Indeed, I have had the opportunity to work with major clients in France (Crédit Agricole, PSA, Société Générale, La Banque Postale, La CDC), as well as major international clients (European group KBC and GIEFCA group in Africa). Some of these projects were in English, which allowed me to practice and improve my language skills.

• Expertise in the main ERPs for managing financing products (Credit and Leasing), namely Ekip, Cassiopae, and Xloan.

It is with great pleasure that I offer my expertise to assist you in your various IT projects related to financing.
