About Nicolas

Launching a digital transformation, scaling Agile, piloting a complex change program — these are missions that require someone who knows how to frame, deliver, and engage teams.

With 20 years of experience on international programs, I act as a Delivery Lead, Agile Coach, or Change Manager depending on the need. I have worked for Mars, Sky, Barclays, William Hill, Cultura Bordeaux, EE — complex environments, often under pressure, always with C-Level stakes.

What sets me apart: I combine three skills rarely found in a single profile — operational management, Agile coaching, and change management. PROSCI, ICP-ACC, ICP-ATF, and CSM certified, I adapt equally well to a full Agile context as to a hybrid Agile/Waterfall environment.

What I deliver concretely:
  • Implementation or relaunch of transformation programs
  • Deployment of Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, LeSS, Scrum of Scrums)
  • Structured change management (PROSCI/ADKAR) — plans, coaching, training
  • E-commerce and marketplace delivery (SAP Commerce, Mirakl)
  • Facilitation of strategic workshops and Agile ceremonies
  • Coaching of Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and teams

Trilingual French/English/Spanish, I work in France and internationally.
