About Sebastien

🎯 Quality & Operational Excellence Director with over 18 years of experience in industry (plastics, packaging, chemicals, agri-food), I support industrial companies in their transformation, scale-up, or control recovery projects (quality, deadlines, costs).

🛠️ My areas of intervention:

• Quality control implementation (audits, non-conformity resolution, QRQC facilitation, continuous improvement)
• Industrialization of complex products (aerospace, medical devices, critical components)
• Management of cross-functional projects (NPI, industrial relocation, process revamping)
• Interim management or short-term assignments (Head of Quality / Ops)

📍 Based in Île-de-France – mobile in Europe
📅 Available for assignments from 1 day to several months, on-site or hybrid
📈 I work with industrial SMEs, deeptech startups, and international mid-sized companies
