About Richard

I am a freelance IT Project Manager / AMOA / Product Builder, with over 8 years of experience in managing SI projects in demanding environments: banking, large accounts, digital transformation, and regulated contexts.

I support organizations that wish to structure an idea, frame a need, prioritize actions, and quickly deliver a concrete solution: MVP, application evolution, automation, process optimization, or business/IT project.

My expertise covers the entire project cycle: requirements gathering, framing, needs expression, specifications, roadmap, prioritization, business/IT coordination, vendor management, risk monitoring, acceptance testing, production deployment, and change management.

My differentiator lies in a very operational approach: I don't limit myself to project monitoring. I know how to clarify vague needs, challenge requests, structure a realistic trajectory, and contribute directly to building initial versions using AI, no-code/low-code tools, or application prototyping.

I can act as an orchestra conductor, with a project team, or in a build & run mode, to frame, prototype, test, and quickly evolve a solution.

I regularly use Jira, Azure DevOps, Trello, Confluence, SharePoint, as well as automation and AI tools. I am also comfortable with integration topics, APIs, testing, data quality, reporting, KPIs, steering committees, and action plans.

I am recognized for my rigor, my teaching skills, my simple and effective communication, as well as my ability to move projects forward even when the initial need is still unclear.

I am particularly effective in contexts where it is necessary to restore order, secure delivery, improve the business/IT relationship, and achieve visible results quickly.
