Introduction
I build Transformation functions that don't exist yet — and make sure they last. My job: translate strategic ambition into an operational roadmap, then build the organisation able to deliver it. Concretely, that often means starting from a blank page: creating the mandate, governance and methodology of a Transformation Office. What I've already done: - Created in 2012 the Transformation Finance & Operational Performance function at Europcar Mobility Group, where none existed before: mandate agreed with the Group CFO, governance (quarterly Finance Board), methodology rolled out across 18 subsidiaries and 120+ franchisees, with a direct arbitration mandate on cross-functional roadblocks, not just reporting. - Built Shared Service Centres and digitised end-to-end value chains: €5M in annual savings, €3.7M in year one on a billing project, -20% in customer complaints. - Created strategic PMO units (ERDF, Pro BTP): project evaluation methodology, portfolio management, risk, and upskilling of teams. What sets me apart: laying the foundations that let an organisation run its own transformation. Two convictions shape how I structure a Transformation function. First, a delivered project is not a successful project: many steering committees sign off on deliverables (scope met, schedule kept), never on proof of value created. I build decision gates that look at real business impact, to kill what creates no value early and reallocate budget to what does. Second, a poorly calibrated ambition kills execution: a roadmap disconnected from teams' real capacity runs out of steam, projects stall, trust erodes. I calibrate pace against available resources, not arbitrary deadlines. I'm known as a facilitator who simplifies complexity, by tracing problems back to their root causes to deliver workable solutions, and who builds meaning and trust within the teams he leads. Today, I'm ready to take on this type of role directly, or to step in as a consultant to create this function, support its build-out, or strengthen it where it already exists. #TransformationOffice #ProgramManagement #ChangeManagement #Governance #FinancePerformance #CFOAdvisory
