About Yannick

In information technology for over 6 years, first as an HRIS consultant in Paris between 2019 and 2022, then as a business analyst in Montreal between 2022 and 2025, I will be based in Aix-en-Provence from June 2025.

Passionate about foresight and systemic thinking, I currently support the development and transformation of organizations by assisting them in implementing their resilience strategy.
