About Stephanie

Most AI programs stop at the POC, not because the technology isn't ready, but because governance, methodology, and industrialization don't keep pace.

I lead end-to-end AI transformation programs,from strategic framing to scaled deployment, with an obsession for measurable ROI and real adoption.

After 25 years transforming industrial and then IT organizations (**Lean Six Sigma Black Belt**, at SNCF and Inetum), I led the deployment of generative AI in 15 countries: 28,000 people trained, 1,000+ daily Copilot users, and over €20M impact on operating margin.

My value proposition:

*Govern & Industrialize**via a Hub & Spoke model**: a central hub that handles governance, the deployment handbook, and the AI Factory (reusable components, technical guidelines), with business spokes that autonomously apply this framework. Each deployment strengthens the foundation rather than starting from scratch.
  • **Transform entire domains**, not scattered use cases. I prioritize an entire domain within a business function (procurement, HR, finance, ops) to audit workflows and rebuild them with native AI integration. This is where true margin gains are measured.
  • **Move from chatbots to workflow agents**. Co-create AI-native processes with business units and IT without human intervention: this is not an IT project, it's an operating model transformation.


**Orchestrator of transformation**, I provide the methodology, animate tech teams for industrialization, and business units to select the right domains, across multi-country, multi-BU contexts.



**Areas of expertise**: AI strategy & governance · GenAI program management · AI operating model · change management & adoption · AI value measurement
