As Partner and Global Leader of People & Strategy, I specialize in addressing strategic and performance challenges. My work centers on defining and implementing transformation projects driven by market shifts or the need to evolve operating models.
Most of my projects have been for industrial accounts (CAC40 companies and SMEs) in the Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, and Oil & Gas sectors. My experience serving these clients has enabled me to develop a comprehensive toolkit of performance-related methodologies (reengineering, lean management, ZBB, ABC, SSC, social engineering, dashboards/KPIs, Active Manager) as well as strategic-related ones (market studies, M&A, business development). My clients benefit from my tailored approach, which takes into account their specific issues and objectives to deliver pragmatic, results-driven outcomes.
These approaches underpin the two core objectives that I have championed via our Performance Improvement Center of Competencies: innovation, driven by best practices, benchmarks, trends, and new approaches, especially digital ones, and development, through multiple trainings and structured knowledge-sharing, both internally and externally.
After graduating from both Ecole Polytechnique and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid in Industrial Engineering, I joined BearingPoint in 2006 as a trainee in our Strategy team. Over the past decade, I assisted our clients in key general management projects, focusing either on performance plan or strategy definition (market positioning, business development, M&A).
In 2015, I took the lead of our Performance Improvement Center of Competencies and offerings for our France-Belgium-Netherlands region. The goal was to develop and spread our know-how in terms of performance approaches (organization, performance management, process reengineering, cost reduction, continuous improvement).
My focus: defining ambitious but realistic plans, balancing challenge and buy-in, and developing people (internal and external teams).
A great plan that cannot be implemented is still a bad plan.
