About Vincent

Senior IT Project and Product Owner with over 20 years of experience in banking and finance, I design and manage high-stakes regulatory compliance and data governance platforms (AML-CFT, GDPR, KYC/AML).
My latest mission: end-to-end management of the KYX/KAT program at Arval BNP Paribas — deployment in 26 countries, €2M budget, 12% budget savings while respecting GDPR and AML-CFT requirements. Before that: HSBC, Société Générale, CACIB, Euronext — always in complex, multi-team, high-stakes environments.
What I bring concretely:
— Translation of business needs into actionable roadmaps and precise user stories
— Coordination of cross-functional squads (tech, compliance, data providers)
— Agile Governance, QA gates, supplier management and SLAs
— Budget management and executive reporting (COMEX, IT department)
Immediately available in the Île-de-France region (on-site or hybrid).
