About Thierry

Secure your IT trajectory, your budgets, and your reporting with a tailor-made CIO Office

After 16 years in IT - including 10 years in asset management and financial product distribution / financial advisory at BNP Paribas REIM, Primonial, and Groupe Crystal - I founded CIO-Desk to put my experience at the service of SMEs, mid-sized companies, and IT consulting firms. I have managed IT budgets from €1 to €20 million, created several CIO Offices, and led cross-functional transformation programs (Web, CRM, BPM, DMS, Data).

I support carve-out projects, mergers/acquisitions of entities, and IT performance management in LBO contexts.

My support offerings

-IT Governance Flash Audit:€5,500 excl. tax. Structured assessment + 10 prioritized recommendations.

-Outsourced CIO Office:budget cockpit, roadmap, workload plan, steering committee rituals. Setup starting from 0.5% of the managed budget.

-Transition Management:operational replacement for vacant positions or post-merger, starting from €1,000/day.

-IT Project Management:securing fixed-price contracts with IT firms or cross-functional programs for mid-sized companies, starting from €900/day.

-Data & AI for IT Management:industrializing reporting (Notion + AI). Fixed price 20-40 days.

What sets me apart:

- Proven field experience with the proposed support offerings

- Published rates and aligned model (CIO Office indexed to the managed budget).

- Equipped from day 1: Notion piloting templates + concrete AI uses to industrialize your project and IT reporting

- 4 stated values: transparency, trust, commitment, empathy.
