Introduction
I'm a dual U.S.–French professional with a JD, MBA, and 15+ years leading complex operational, process, and knowledge-driven transformations across legal services, healthcare, consumer goods, and enterprise technology. My work sits at the intersection of legal expertise, data governance, continuous improvement, and digital enablement, helping organizations modernize how they operate, make decisions, and deliver value. I've redesigned global matter intake systems, built enterprise knowledge platforms, led Six Sigma and Lean programs, strengthened financial and data controls for multi-billion-euro environments, and delivered cross-functional improvements in HR, compliance, master data, and client service. My experience spans AmLaw 50 firms, Fortune 100 companies, global manufacturers, and leading SaaS providers. Today, I focus on helping organizations translate complexity into clarity, build scalable systems, and unlock operational excellence—whether through legal transformation, process reengineering, or AI-enabled knowledge management. I thrive in international environments and enjoy roles that blend strategy, design, and hands-on execution.
