About Stéphane

With a background as an Engineer in electronics and information systems, and 22 years of experience primarily with major clients in the telecom, transport, industry, public sector, insurance, and legal fields, I first worked as a technical and functional consultant in CRM before moving into functional support and consulting within IT departments.

I have led numerous projects, managing significant business and IT functional and technical teams, sometimes in contexts of transformation and reorganization projects following mergers, for example.

Dynamic and resolutely results-oriented, I lead my projects with benevolence and motivation towards the supervised resources and stakeholders, whether they are from the business or IT side.

My ambition is to continue taking on new challenges in IT transition management or in leading high-stakes projects for my clients' business departments.

The strengths I wish to highlight to help my clients achieve their objectives are:

- Expertise in managing IT and business teams in France and internationally
- Experience in steering and managing transformation project portfolios of several thousand man-days and transverse coordination of multidisciplinary teams (Average budgets of €10M, IT functional support, IT development, and business domains)
- Ability to support clients in formalizing their business needs and implementing the right IT solutions (V-cycle approach, Agile, frugal method, b-case, ERP, CRM, and digital solutions)
- Support in developing operational teams' autonomy, responsibility, and initiative (Team management of up to 80 people)
