Transition CIO / CTO: taking charge of IT systems, delivery & tech teams
I support SMEs, mid-sized companies, and scale-ups when IT becomes a critical issue: delayed projects, tech team structuring, aging IT systems, difficult supplier management, or lack of roadmap visibility.
My role: to bring clarity, pace, and control.
I act as a transition CIO/CTO or part-time to audit the existing system, prioritize issues, structure teams, secure projects, and align IT with business objectives.
I have over 15 years of experience in environments where IT systems directly impact operations and revenue: retail, e-commerce, tourism, luxury, SaaS, payment processing, booking, CRM, ERP, and omnichannel platforms.
I have notably contributed to projects for Decathlon, Dior, Chanel, Disneyland Paris, Quick, Anycommerce, and the Compagnie Française de Croisières.
My interventions primarily cover:
- IT system audit and tech organization diagnosis;
- Taking charge of delivery;
- Structuring IT / product / tech teams;
- IT roadmap and governance;
- Supplier management;
- IT system modernization, ERP, CRM, cloud, APIs, and cybersecurity.
I come from the field: developer, project manager, manager, CPO, CTO/CIO, and executive. This background allows me to bridge the gap between technical teams, business units, and general management.
Short missions possible: flash IT audit, delivery diagnosis, roadmap scoping, or tech organization review.
Based in Paris, I work on-site or remotely depending on the context.
