About Sophie

Welcome to my profile!

A passionate specialist in project management and product development, I enjoy transforming user challenges into innovation opportunities. With solid experience as a Product Manager, PMO, and Project Manager, I excel at understanding needs, driving change, and coordinating multidisciplinary teams.

I have had the opportunity to lead various projects, from creating SaaS platforms to implementing custom training solutions (LMS with Moodle as a preference), while integrating agile and user-centered methodologies. My approach combines rigor, creativity, and commitment to deliver high-value results.

I am very effective in start-ups and/or scale-ups where it is necessary to:
- Have a lot of autonomy
- Conduct rapid tests and learning ("fail fast & learn fast" is my motto)
- Interact with users, analyze their data before/during/after the MVP
- Create an MVP, the vision, and deliver the first iterations of a product
- Manage clients, their needs, and the deployment of solutions tailored to their requirements

If you are looking for a trusted partner for your IT projects or products, do not hesitate to contact me: I would be delighted to discuss with you!
