About

Early in my career, an MBA consulting project led me to Alstom in Belfort, where I helped win a locomotive bid that stabilized a plant and protected thousands of regional jobs. That experience shaped how I work: diagnose the root cause quickly, simplify the noise, and align people around a clear execution rhythm. I believe strategy without execution is an illusion, and I’m at my best when the stakes are high and a steady hand is needed. Today, I help companies turn strategy into results. I build the execution engine - clear priorities, decision cadence, and KPIs that drive behavior - and then lead teams to deliver. Track record includes a multi-country SAP S/4HANA rollout on a compressed TSA timeline (~15 months across 7 geographies), a strategic vendor reset delivering ~45% run-rate reduction with scope preserved, and group-wide SG&A and IT spend reductions while strengthening operations. I’m comfortable in the boardroom and on the shop floor. I thrive under pressure. I am known for hands-on problem solving and fact-based negotiation.
