About Nicolas

I am a program director / senior manager with over 20 years of experience in business transformation, primarily around SAP, complex organizations, and high-stakes projects. I am involved in both strategic steering and operational execution: governance, budget, teams, partners, risks, change management, and delivery.

My added value for my clients is to secure critical projects and transform complexity into concrete results. I combine business vision, IT mastery, and the ability to unite internal and external teams, including in international environments. I quickly bring structure, clarity, and effective decision-making.

Specifically, my clients call on me to bring a program back under control, accelerate a transformation, improve operational performance, or ensure a successful go-live. My goal is always the same: to deliver sustainably, with quality, on time, and with team buy-in.
