Trained as an engineer, I began my career in technical roles before evolving towards management and leading a company with a revenue of €1M. This experience taught me that success lies not in controlling but in supporting, facilitating, and driving continuous improvement.
Now, as a Scrum Master and Agile Coach, I draw on 25 years of experience, a multidisciplinary education, and recognized certifications to assist teams in their development. I strongly believe that transparency and simplicity are key to effective communication and lasting results. My approach is human-centered, aiming to enhance adaptability and collective efficiency.
My expertise spans various tools (Scrum, Kanban, LeSS, Lean…) that I tailor to the needs of each organization. I view agility primarily as a philosophy, a framework enabling teams to find their own solutions and align their actions with their goals.
