Back to original languageAbout Sylvain
Since 2011, I have been supporting organizations that want to deliver a working product: not just a roadmap. Product Manager, Delivery Manager, Scrum Master depending on the assignments: what doesn't change is the posture. I define what we build, I organize the delivery, and I measure what changes.
What I bring concretely:
- ➡️ Delivery Transformation. At Akkodis (95% remote): two teams went from near-zero margins to +30% margin, +40% productivity in less than a year - introduction of Scrum from scratch, CI/CD, quality standards, real-time metrics.
- ➡️ Product Management with impact. At BPS (FinTech DeFi, 30 people): introduction of the MVP (first time in the company), +12% team productivity through 8 hours of GenAI training, coaching the CTO on remote management and recruitment.
- ➡️ Scaled Delivery. At Schneider Electric: SAFe ART of 80 people (industrial IoT, France/India). I build the tools that make teams deliver better. User Story tool deployed: 85% time saved. GitHub Copilot PoC developed in 2 days of work.
- ➡️ I build with the tools I recommend. Make.com, Airtable, n8n, Claude Code. For my own clients, from Isère, asynchronously. Not as convictions, as deliverables.
I work mainly remotely. 1 to 2 days on site per week depending on needs.
Dance instructor for 10 years (salsa, bachata, lindy hop). This taught me something about trust and listening that I wouldn't have learned in a meeting room.

- AkkodisDelivery Manager | SCRUM MasterDIGITAL AND ITMay 2020 - October 2023 (3 years and 5 months)Lyon, FranceAs a Delivery Manager, Scrum Master, and Project Portfolio Manager at Akkodis, I led the digital transformation of two development teams totaling over 20 people.When I joined the company in 2020, the Lyon team was struggling with outdated processes, low margins, and poor code quality. I implemented radical changes:➡️ Implementation of CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps for automated testing and continuous delivery. This accelerated delivery cycles from several months to a few weeks.➡️ Creation of automated dashboards to track the status quo, quality, customer satisfaction, and profitability in real-time.➡️ Fostered a "product team" culture rather than just executing tickets. Developers were able to see the impact on the business and end-users.➡️ Coached my teammates on soft skills such as consulting, presentation, and communication to management levels.In just one year, Lyon transformed into a digital center of excellence with over 10 people and one of our most profitable centers (+30% margin, +40% productivity, and 0% turnover).In 2022, I was entrusted with a second nascent team in Lille to replicate this rapid turnaround.By the time I left, both sites were high-performing Agile teams developing top-tier enterprise applications. Through benevolent leadership, they went from laggards to leaders, earning recognition throughout the company. 🚀Other key figures:
- 20+ tender responses (technical, pricing, negotiation)
- 12-15 developer recruitment interviews
