About

With over 20 years of experience in the building sector, I support organizations in the successful delivery of their technical and transformation projects. I specialize in managing demanding, high‑stakes initiatives by combining strategic vision, rigorous execution, and a strong results‑driven mindset. My technical expertise in HVACSE enables me to collaborate effectively with service providers, engineering consultancies, and project owners — from defining project objectives through to commissioning. I bring a holistic understanding of building systems, operational constraints, and lifecycle performance. In parallel, I have extensive experience implementing information systems (CAFM, IWMS, CAD), supported by strong analytical capabilities and a proven ability to design robust, sustainable, and scalable solutions. Fluent in both French and English, I navigate multicultural environments with ease and communicate clearly with stakeholders at all levels.
