Back to original languageAbout Vincent
An engineer by training, I have been supporting companies for over 15 years in the governance and transformation of their information systems, with strong expertise in Procurement, Supply Chain, and Quality.
My role: align IT strategy with business challenges and manage digital transformation programs end-to-end, often in international and multicultural environments.
I design and deploy transformation roadmaps, rationalize and integrate complex application landscapes, and optimize costs while tracking generated value. I have notably managed the global deployment of SAP Ariba solutions in 40 countries, as well as numerous projects related to ERP integration, business intelligence, process mining (Celonis), AI applied to business processes, and automation (RPA).
My areas of intervention cover:
- IT Architecture and Strategy: definition of the target vision, budget management, integration and rationalization of IT ecosystems.
- Management of complex transformation programs: solution selection (RFP), international deployments, governance, and quality assurance.
- Data & Performance: KPIs, BI, process mining to measure adoption and demonstrate business value.
- Management of international teams and cross-functional coordination with business, IT, partners, and software vendors.
Results-oriented and focused on continuous improvement, I bring pragmatic expertise to ensure the success of digital transformations and maximize created value.
