20 years delivering digital projects. Including the turnarounds no one wanted.

For over 20 years, I’ve been walking into digital projects that others abandoned or failed to deliver. I read what’s blocking them — organizational dynamics, business/IT misalignment, problems being solved alongside the real problem — and I unblock what prevents delivery.



One example. At Desjardins, I took over a stalled program — $5M+ spent with no results, multiple project managers burned out. I identified the root causes, restored governance, redesigned the solution architecture and delivered the first go-live in November 2023. That engagement is still ongoing — four years later.



Master’s in Philosophy (Sorbonne), Bachelor’s in Physics (Jussieu), 15 industry sectors, 3 countries. I think systems before I configure them.
