Introduction
Product leader with 15 years of experience across large corporations (Enedis, CGI) and startups (Herow, Relaymark), as well as an independent entrepreneur, in SaaS, IoT, retail, e-commerce, and energy contexts. My playground: turning a fuzzy business need into a shipped product. Discovery, product vision definition, story mapping, roadmap and backlog prioritization, leading cross-functional agile teams (dev, UX/UI, QA) through to production in France as well as with international teams (India, multi-country contexts). Since early 2025, I've been building hands-on expertise in automation and generative AI (Make, Zapier, AI-assisted development with Google AI Studio and Claude Code). I designed and built CaterPilot, a SaaS tool for caterers that automates menu generation, cost calculation, and quote delivery, a concrete way to stay ahead of the tools I now recommend to product teams. Certified Scrum Master. Graduate of École Centrale Paris (Master's in Technology & Management). Open to Lead PM/PO opportunities, freelance or full-time, on high-impact product challenges.

Building hands-on expertise in automation and AI-assisted development from no-code workflows (Make, Zapier) to vibe coding with Google AI Studio and Claude Code (building functional products through iterative, conversational prompting rather than traditional line-by-line coding). - Designed and built CaterPilot, a SaaS tool for caterers: AI-powered menu generation and cost calculation, automated PDF quotes and client delivery, targeting a quote turnaround of a few minutes instead of the usual 30–45. - Structured the go-to-market offer (pricing, onboarding, client setup) and launched a pre-sale landing page. - Applied hands-on restaurant/delivery industry expertise from a prior venture to shape a product addressing real caterer pain points.
