About Pierre

Do you lead an IT transformation and are you looking for someone who speaks both the business and IT language?

With 9 years of experience as a Business Analyst and Product Owner, I help Finance and IT departments frame their projects, translate business needs into actionable specifications, and manage testing until go-live. Whether it's an ERP implementation, a forecast IT system redesign, or the implementation of a reporting tool, I am involved in the entire cycle: scoping workshops, writing user stories, build monitoring, IT testing, UAT, and change management.

What sets me apart: a dual background in banking (CACIB) and the entertainment industry (Ubisoft), real autonomy with data tools (Snowflake, SQL, Tableau, Power BI), and the ability to manage backlogs for applications with hundreds of users – without losing sight of business objectives.

I am comfortable with projects in both V-cycle and Scrum, in ERP (Oracle Cloud) or EPM (Essbase, Tagetik) environments.

Curious, structured, and user-oriented, I strive to design reliable, adapted, and sustainable solutions, while fostering collaboration between business and technical teams.
