About Sebastien

With over 27 years of experience in major groups such as CATERPILLAR, GGB/EnPro, and Cebi International, I have developed expertise in managing critical phases of transformation and performance improvement. My approach is focused on a strategic vision and strong leadership, fostering lasting customer relationships and rigorous process execution.

I focus on rapid integration into teams, implementing adapted operational solutions, and creating value through strategies focused on Lean Manufacturing, Change Management, and 6 Sigma tools. My commitment to strengthening the culture of continuous improvement and maximizing existing resources has consistently led to the improvement of complex situations within tight deadlines.

In my roles and assignments, I have successfully managed transformations in areas such as safety, supply chain, quality, finance (P&L), and human resources, ensuring the sustainability of the improvements made. My extensive expertise in management, strategy deployment, and crisis/restructuring management allows me to effectively support organizations through their critical phases, while ensuring sustainable results.
