Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

An engineer by training, passionate about software product development, design, and engineering, I then became interested in product leadership and service organization challenges, implementing my attraction for facilitation and systemic thinking, along with recognized analytical and creative abilities.

My experiences have allowed me to work in both the service and publishing sectors, across various fields of activity from industry to services, including energy, and with companies of all sizes. This has given me a rich perspective on the IT world (from both creator and user viewpoints) and the challenges of organizing teams.

I now leverage these experiences and my skills to help IT companies improve their products, whether by defining and implementing a strategic vision or by helping to find and establish the right organization.

More generally, I can assist you in your organizational reflections, as facilitation allows for gaining perspective, rationalizing thought processes, and asking the right questions to find the answers that enable progress. Engineer
