As part of Beneva's strategy to migrate its IT infrastructure to the cloud, I was first managing the overall program, coordinating the program streams: > delivery of the technical foundations > overall change management, in coordination with a dedicated change management advisor: training, communication plan for c-suite, management teams, and employees > lead the changes related to governance and roles & responsibilities: mostly around FinOps, reference architecture and security, ensuring strong coordination with the internal initiative that would bring the agility at scale in the company > lead the coordination with the cloud provider (AWS), ensuring a smooth shift of ownership from the provider to Beneva > lead of the creation of a SAFe Train that delivers upcoming technical features and services , while bringing more focus to governance and architecture to the existing Cloud Center of Excellence mandate Starting mid-2023, I am also acting as Program Manager for the Platform Engineering Program, from scratch: facilitating the schedule of the expected deliveries, capacity planning, building the target governance and integration within Beneva's existing initiatives.

The initiative was belonging to an overall effort to bring SAFe Agile practices to iA. Within the Individual Insurance department and more specifically its Data Management team, I acted as a RTE to facilitate the creation and deployment of a SAFe Train. The Train was involving 3 multi-disciplinary teams. The transformation toward a SAFe environment was also a good oportunity to bring more agile practices to the teams: increase autonomy of the teams, various measurements aiming at improving the velocity, predictibility and adaptability.
