About Sara

I manage complex IT projects on national network and telecommunication infrastructures, specializing in critical environments and Operators of Vital Importance (OIV).

After 5 years at NXO as a Senior Project Manager Consultant, I simultaneously managed several large accounts:

▸ RTE — IT deployment Project Manager on +1,000 sensitive sites, budget €2.9M/year (MCO + Build), SLA/KPI management, steering committee/project committee, coordination of Alcatel telephony experts in a classified environment.

▸ Autodistribution — National SDWAN deployment on 380 sites (€800K), industrialization at 10 sites/week, SAP logistics, IP addressing plan management.

▸ Confidential client — LAN/Wi-Fi/Cisco ISE project management on a virtualized environment, validation of critical deliverables (DAT, DEX, acceptance test plans).

What sets me apart: I master all three levels — network technical (Mines Telecom engineering), contractual management (SLA, budgets, amendments), and large account client relations. Operational from day 1, accustomed to OIV and sensitive site constraints.
