The right fit?
Lean CTO, results-oriented, I intervene in contexts where technical debt, instability, slow delivery, or security risks hinder team growth and performance.
My leadership style is based on empowerment, clear priorities, and teamwork. I quickly help teams regain control of their system: less chaos, more flow, more value delivered.
CTO and co-founder of several startups, former developer then Product Manager, I have a deep understanding of business, product, and technical challenges, and I systematically align technology with strategic objectives.
My added value
My role is to transform fragile or underperforming technical organizations into reliable, secure, and predictable systems capable of delivering quickly without sacrificing quality.
I bring a Lean Tech approach:
waste reduction, continuous improvement, clear standards, flow and data-driven management.
I intervene on:
- Clarifying business, product, and tech vision
- Massive reduction of technical debt (structural, organizational, cognitive)
- Accelerating delivery (time-to-market, throughput, reliability of production releases)
- Implementing robust standards: quality, security, architecture, engineering practices
- Securing systems (processes, governance, security debt)
- Continuous improvement and waste reduction
- Aligning multi-disciplinary teams (tech, product, design, data, CRM)
- Recruitment, skill development, and talent retention
- Implementing structured continuous improvement (Lean, Kanban, flow indicators)
- Communication within and outside the team
- Building and deploying pragmatic Product & Tech strategies
