In the meantime, I wasHead of Product & VP Product Marketingin various SaaS scale-ups in the next40 in Paris (Finalcad, Slimpay).

10 years later, I have an appetite for both business and tech. I support clients on theirproduct strategy,their roadmap, their organization and I help them build their product teams (Edenred, Qonto, Ditto Bank, Selency, Decathlon, Poiscaille, JobSeason, ...).

Types of missions:

To quickly deliver a first "MVP" that meets a business need, then iterate and avoid superfluous developments - and use your budget wisely.

UX strategist
Create the user experience that perfectly suits 90% of your users

Design
Conduct a UX audit, organize your UX and UI teams

Recruitment
To create a coherent Tech & Product organization chart and not make mistakes on the first hires

Roadmap
To prioritize future developments objectively and profitably with a method (Rice, MoSCow, Kano)

**Product Manager / Head of Product / CPO**: I integrate into your product team, for a short or medium term (transition, specific need...) for a UX Audit, the choice of the right tools (Amplitude/Tableau, Singular/Adjust) or to deliver a product with a method (Design Thinking, Lean Start Up, Design Sprint) as Product Owner and/or Scrum Master
