About me
Intro
Fort de 25 ans d'expérience en développement d'entreprise, stratégie et management de transition, j'accompagne des organisations en phase de croissance, de transformation ou de changement réglementaire. Mon positionnement repose sur une combinaison rare : expertise en implémentation de l'IA, conformité RGPD & data privacy, et stratégie Web3/blockchain — le tout adossé à un solide track record opérationnel en tant que fondateur et dirigeant (CEO, COO, CRO).
