Introduction
I’m a transformation-driven executive with a dual background in consulting and strategic account leadership, supporting large industrial and defense organizations in achieving digital transformation, operational performance, and sovereignty objectives. As Client Executive Partner at Atos, I work with leading players of the Defense Industry to accelerate their digital modernization, enhance industrial resilience, and strengthen digital sovereignty through trusted, secure, and high-performance IT and data solutions. Drawing on over two decades of experience leading transformation programs in technology-intensive and sovereign industries, I bridge strategic vision and operational delivery to enable trusted, resilient growth. 🔹 Skilled in leading multi-stakeholder, multi-site transformation programs 🔹 Proven success in delivering innovative IT and digital performance solutions 🔹 Adept at bridging business imperatives, operational constraints, and technology delivery 🔹 Trusted partner for C-level stakeholders across business, IT, and operations 🔹 Focused on measurable impact, alignment, and long-term value creation I believe transformation succeeds when it combines clarity, trust, and collaboration — turning strategic ambitions into tangible, sustainable results.
