Switzerland — hybrid, remote or on-site · also fully remote worldwide
25+ years turning IT into business outcomes for global enterprises — L'Oréal, Microsoft, ENGIE, Qatar Foundation. I set strategy, own budgets and vendors, build teams, and deliver. I'm ready to lead IT end-to-end, as IT Director on the road to CIO.
Azure Solutions Architect Expert who designed greenfield SAP S/4HANA on Azure, Azure VMware Solution migrations, enterprise landing zones and FinOps at scale. I still read the diagrams, challenge the design, and know when a "best practice" isn't one.
Why both matter
Most IT leaders come from one side. I've spent 25 years earning trust on both — which is exactly what an IT Director needs when strategy meets the Monday-morning incident.
Impact
Six stories recruiters ask me about first.
Rebuilt the Azure estate into a shared-services model, rolled out the Cloud Adoption Framework and Enterprise-Scale Landing Zones, and ran FinOps like a P&L. Delivered end to end fully remote from France, for a client in Doha.
Chaired the Architecture Committee, set the standards and roadmap, and led the migration of 20+ ERP systems worldwide — with HA/DR and NetApp built in from day one.
Led the ENGIE virtual-workplace programme across France, Spain and India — KPIs, SLAs, billing, escalations — and became "the tip of the spear" that helped turn the project around.
Designed a scalable Azure VMware Solution and led the execution team through an on-prem-to-Azure migration under tight timelines, without trading away resilience.
Technical lead for ENGIE, Sodexo, Air Liquide, Generali, Carrefour and Société Générale — workshops, landing zones, migrations — recognised with the Q1-FY19 Team Award for Sodexo's global platform.
Defined the organisation, roles, service catalogue and core systems for a company operating in one of the world's hardest environments — then delivered infrastructure for its clients.
