Description

Data & Governance Programs Director with over 15 years of experience, I support organizations in structuring, securing, and relaunching complex programs with significant business, financial, and technological stakes.

I intervene when business departments, IT teams, and stakeholders need to regain a shared vision, effective governance, and reliable decision-making capabilities.

My areas of intervention:

• Data Governance and data management

• IT and Data program management

• Digital transformation and change management

• Bringing troubled programs back under control

• Coordination of business, finance, operations, and IT departments

• Project governance, risk management, and budget control

Throughout my assignments, I have supported players in the public sector, insurance, audit, transport, and financial services in defining transformation trajectories, implementing governance frameworks, and securing delivery.

My approach combines strategic vision, operational mastery, and the ability to unite multidisciplinary teams around common objectives to achieve concrete and sustainable results.

Three years on a long-term assignment in the public sector is rare. It requires a genuine ability to commit long-term, understand the constraints of a local authority, and drive complex programs forward in an environment where decisions take time and stakes are high.
My daily role: managing a team of 6 to 8 people with diverse profiles – project managers, Data experts, application architects – and ensuring that each project progresses concretely, from initial scoping to RUN. Not just tracking a schedule, but truly understanding where the bottlenecks are, arbitrating, and pushing forward.
On the contractual side, I reported to the IT Director of the Departmental Council on what my team was actually producing – progress, milestones, points of tension on revenue or delivery. Honest, unfiltered reporting that builds long-term trust.
What marked me most about this assignment: adoption. Data tools are useless if business teams don't embrace them. I spent a lot of time in the field and in workshops, providing support and making adjustments, and this is often where the real value of a program is realized.
