About me
Intro
CTO depuis plus de 10 ans, j’ai piloté la structuration technique et organisationnelle de startups en forte croissance, dans des contextes souvent chaotiques. J’ai vécu les défis classiques du rôle : croissance mal maîtrisée, process absents, dette organisationnelle, difficulté à recruter au bon moment. Aujourd’hui, je mets cette expérience au service des CTOs et founder qui veulent structurer leur delivery, éviter les pièges de l’early stage, et poser les bonnes bases pour scaler sereinement.
