What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities in project management, operations, or sustainability where I can lead digital transformation, sustainable innovation, and change initiatives within SMEs.

I've led digital transformation, ecological transition, and business strategy at EARL Domaine Claude Moritz, modernizing commercial and production workflows through CRM and ERP systems.

I installed NFC chips and IoT sensors to improve production-cost analysis and profitability, while directing the winery's conversion to Organic Farming certification through traceability and audit systems.

As a vineyard owner and manager, I recruited and trained teams of up to 2 permanent employees and 20 seasonal staff, coordinated vendors, and expanded export clients across Europe, the UK, Canada, Japan, and Ghana.

I'm a trilingual project and operations manager who connects field realities with strategic management, bringing hands-on experience in sustainability, e-commerce, go-to-market strategy, process improvement, and stakeholder coordination.
