About Sébastien

I don't sell customer relationship solutions. I secure transformations that cannot fail.

For over 25 years, I have been designing and managing omnichannel and CCaaS transformation programs for large-scale Banking & Insurance groups.

My expertise lies at the intersection of business, IT, and governance: complex tenders, CCaaS platform choices, customer flow orchestration, program management involving several hundred stakeholders.

I bring a clear-sighted, independent, and operational vision, based on real deployment experience – not on vendor pitches.
