Project Manager Program Management Office

An information science engineer, I am passionate about complex systems and their emergent dynamics. My mission? To apply the principles of self-organized criticality and homeostatic economy to transform organizations in the digital age.

At Deloitte, I support companies in their metamorphosis towards agile and resilient models, where technology acts as a catalyst for collective intelligence and sustainable value creation.

My area of expertise is financial services, where I strive to seamlessly blend human excellence with artificial intelligence. Tokenization, blockchain, federated AI, autonomous agents... these are the tools I use to streamline exchanges, optimize value flows, and reinvent trust chains.

Convinced that true disruption is cultural and managerial, I guide leaders in acquiring the new paradigms and skills necessary to navigate complexity. I have developed an original approach to change management, inspired by the concepts of wave-particle duality and dissipative structures.

Committed to bridging theory and practice, I strive to translate the most abstract concepts into concrete transformation levers. It is in this constant dialogue between forward-thinking and operational action that I anchor my added value.

As a speaker, I am dedicated to passing on this knowledge to foster a new generation of leaders who are comfortable in a VUCA world and driven by the quest for positive impact.

So, are you ready to reinvent your organization and your relationship with technology? Ready to make complexity a tremendous lever for innovation and sustainable performance?

This is the exciting challenge I propose to tackle alongside you to co-create the company of tomorrow.
