Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With a Master's degree in IT Project Management and an Executive MBA in IT Management, I work as a Consultant Manager and Program Director/IT Project Director.

With over 11 years of significant and proven achievements in managing and directing projects within major CAC40 companies.

Results-oriented, I focus on resolving operational and technical challenges within various information systems, as well as on the operational and hierarchical management of teams and resources.

I am particularly motivated by missions complicated by context and/or environment, where my ability to step back and quickly understand situations are key assets.

Convinced that success is primarily collective and driven by the added value of a continuous improvement approach, I support various profiles (Project Managers, Developers, Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches) in improving existing processes and achieving common goals.

Finally, I am a facilitator of teamwork, particularly by improving communication between Business and IT teams. I gladly embrace business challenges and quickly integrate as a full member of your organization.
