Since 2022, I’ve managed project assignments at Cofomo in Quebec’s public sector, coordinating stakeholders and project governance while managing agile product backlogs.

Before that, I led IT functions for multinational groups in West Africa for 13 years, overseeing infrastructure and teams across West and Central Africa. My experience includes several ERP implementations, and I hold PMP and Professional Scrum Master certifications.
