Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Independent Senior IT Project Manager, I have been specializing in the transformation of banking and financial information systems for 14 years. My dual IT and Finance expertise allows me to work at the interface of business teams, Finance departments, and IT departments on large-scale programs.

My most significant experience: 4 years at BNP Paribas Securities Services on the ATHENA program (€17M), where I simultaneously managed two strategic workstreams — Accounting and Billing — in a multi-application and multi-entity environment. I oversaw the entire project lifecycle, from gathering business requirements to production deployment, including testing strategy (IST, UAT, E2E) and change management.

My areas of intervention: accounting IT system migration, cash management, correspondent banking, billing, capital markets, regulatory reporting (IFRS9, COREP, FINREP). I work in V-model methodology as well as Agile Scrum (certified PSM I & PSPO I).

Available immediately, I am looking for full remote or hybrid freelance missions, in the Île-de-France region or remotely.
