About

I've spent twenty-five years where cybersecurity meets the things that cannot fail. Defense programs first — designing and securing classified architectures, leading cyber for major State systems. Then private sector, where I held operational, cyber and commercial responsibilities, and learned that resilience is not built in policy documents but in the way decisions are made under pressure. Information Security Expert — ANSSI/CFSSI graduate. Military background (Commandant). Active across French cybersecurity bodies: ARCSI, Agora CISO (co-founder), FFC, and CLUSIF (Panocrim working group). Chronicler at Global Security Mag. Today I lead Klaerenn — an independent French structure focused on cybersecurity advisory and digital sovereignty. Senior-only delivery. The work is selective and the engagements are direct. I write, I speak, I advise. The common thread is reading the terrain — finding signal where others see noise, helping leaders move when waiting is the bigger risk. If you're navigating cyber decisions where the stakes are real and the path isn't obvious, that's where I work.
