About Nicolas

After 14 years at Société Générale, where I rose to be responsible for the IT systems of corporate functions (budget ~€400 million), I am an experienced CIO with a specialization in Financial Services and Data topics. I also possess skills and experience in management consulting, organization, and transformation.

My value proposition:
• Define and implement IT strategies to support business strategies (corporate IT platform transformation, redesign of risk calculators, etc.)
• Successfully manage complex and strategic business/IT transformation programs (SG/CDN merger, global HR tools deployment, global AML detection tools, etc.)
• Lead global IT organizations, optimize their efficiency, and reduce costs (BSC transformation program, CFT transformation program, offshore, agile, voluntary departure plan, etc.)
• Establish trusted partnership relationships between business decision-makers and IT to enable sound decision-making (4 business partners, COMEX SG members with a strategic committee, domain governance implementation, NPS implementation, etc.)
• Master, in particular, Data systems architectures and transformations (Corporate Datahub, enterprise performance management (HR, Finance), and systemic bank performance management (Risk, Compliance) (Basel 3, IFRS9, Basel 4, IRB Repair, etc.))

I am recognized for:
• My strategic vision and synthesis/pedagogical skills
• My team spirit and commitment to the general interest
• My determination and commitment
• My ability to be operationally involved in program management

I am seeking a leadership role in an IT team or program management in a transformation context within the financial services, telecom, energy/utilities, transport, or healthcare sectors.
