Most data and AI strategies fail for the same reason: the gap between the slide and the reality. The vision is clear on paper but clashes with execution. The model doesn't perform, the data isn't ready, or the delivered tools are never truly adopted by the teams.

This is where I step in, covering the entire chain. I support Heads of Data, CIOs, and executives in building their data & AI strategy and roadmap, and then in their implementation. Not a PowerPoint deliverable filed away on a drive, but a trajectory with concrete actions and tangible achievements.

My real added value lies in adoption. A data strategy only yields results if the tools are actually used. I design dashboards and interfaces focused on usability, and I work in co-development with business teams: involved throughout the design process, they adopt the tools faster.

The result: rapid delivery, truly adopted solutions, and users who feel connected to their data tools.

I help you build a strategy by integrating execution costs, technical feasibility, and team involvement from the outset. Ten years of delivering for major clients have shown me where a roadmap's breaking points lie. This experience allows me to propose trajectories that hold up in practice and anticipate what is truly feasible before committing.

My support covers the entire chain:

• Strategy & roadmap: data/AI vision, use case prioritization, governance, maturity improvement.

• Architecture & delivery: modeling, Power BI / Fabric, AI integration, production deployment.

• Adoption & engagement: user-focused dashboards, data storytelling, change management.

• Skill enhancement: structuring internal practices, training, knowledge transfer.
