About Victor

I support public and private organizations in structuring, securing, and operationally delivering high-stakes projects and events.

Former Deputy General Manager of Olympic and Paralympic venues – Paris 2024, I managed complex environments hosting over 25,000 spectators, coordinated up to 4,000 employees, and secured operations under maximum constraints of security, deadlines, and international exposure.

Today, I act as an outsourced operational leader, directly supporting decision-makers on:
– operational management of venues and events
– security of organizations and flows
– management of tenders and critical service providers
– preparation and management of crisis situations
My role: reduce risk, ensure reliable decisions, and guarantee delivery, where failure is not an option.
