About Philippe

I act as a Senior IT PMO to support organizations facing complex IT programs with high stakes in transformation, business continuity, or operational performance.

My role involves structuring and managing governance, securing planning, budget management, and decision-making reporting, and coordinating all IT stakeholders, business units, and external partners. I bring a transverse vision to objectify decisions, anticipate risks, and maintain long-term trajectories.

I have managed multi-project portfolios and IT transformation and infrastructure programs for major industrial, energy, and financial companies, in demanding contexts: SEVESO sites, OIV environments, GxP constraints, 24/7 production. Managed budgets range up to €5.5 million, with a strong emphasis on cost, deadline, and commitment control.

I generally intervene:

  • as senior PMO support or program management,
  • during structuring, recovery, or security phases,
  • when organizational or technical complexity requires experienced and neutral management.

My approach is factual, pragmatic, and results-oriented, with a constant objective: to transform IT complexity into clear decisions, executable plans, and measurable deliverables.
