What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead PMO and portfolio governance in complex IT/cyber programmes, driving delivery efficiency through automated reporting, clear risk/RAID management, and cross-site stakeholder alignment—preferably in an Agile or hybrid delivery environment.

I’m a PMO Lead and Senior Project Manager with 7+ years across IT, cybersecurity, and capital-markets programmes in France, UK, and India. At Valeo, I institutionalised the PMO function for the CyberLab division across 3 global sites (Paris, Prague, Chennai), setting governance frameworks, delivery methodologies, templates, and portfolio KPIs.

I build the operating model that helps teams deliver with confidence: I managed a multi-project portfolio by optimising resource capacity, budget allocation, and cross-site dependencies to drive on-time, on-scope, and on-budget outcomes. I’ve delivered measurable impact, including +20% project throughput, zero critical production incidents across BNP Paribas release cycles, -15% budget variance at Murex, and a 30% reduction in manual reporting effort through VBA/Excel automation.

As a Scrum Master / Chef de Projet, I lead cross-functional execution—turning backlog discipline, RAID management, and risk governance into delivery momentum. I partner closely with Technical Leads, external vendors, and senior stakeholders, and I focus on continuous improvement of PMO tools and reporting frameworks to increase efficiency across global teams.
