About Victor

With over 25 years in internal audit, risk management, and internal control, I undertake transition missions to structure or strengthen these functions within mid-sized and large corporations.

I led the internal audit of a €2.3 billion family group operating in 32 countries, where I notably deployed an anti-corruption framework (Sapin II law) within deadlines and at 70% of the planned budget, and reduced product losses in stores in Southern Europe by 25%, generating over €7 million in annual savings.

Previously, I built the risk management framework for an international automotive group worth €18 billion, from scratch.

I can structure an audit, risk, and compliance function that doesn't yet exist, or consolidate an existing setup after a merger or strong growth. My experience allows me to be fully operational from the first weeks, without the learning curve that a less experienced profile would require.

Trilingual in French/English/Portuguese, comfortable in multicultural and international environments.
