“Clarity in complexity, action and serenity under pressure.”
Interim CIO — Stabilize, align and transform organisations under pressure.
SMI Industrial Focus
Modernizing information systems, securing ERP environments, supporting multi‑site operations, and strengthening supply‑chain reliability. Pragmatic, frugal, and human‑centered transformation for manufacturing and agro‑industry environments.
I step in at moments when everything accelerates, when teams get exhausted, and when priorities become blurred. I provide a clear framework, a steady presence, and a proven method to get the organization moving again.
Yann JOUVENEAUX
Stabilize
Restore visibility, absorb pressure, secure critical operations, and ease tensions.
Align
Create a shared framework between COMEX, IT, and Business units to get everyone moving in the same direction.
Transform
Structure, prioritize, manage, and hand over an organization capable of progressing sustainably.
What I do
The Vegvisir method
​
Three phases, AI-supported, to turn a confused IT situation into a costed, fundable and governed roadmap.
​
01. Urðr, what has become — Diagnosis
A costed diagnosis delivered in 30 days, built on over 60 structured interviews. The most urgent risks are handled from the first weeks, without waiting for the final report.
02. Verðandi, what is becoming — Alignment
More than 25 projects put back in priority order. The roadmap is built and arbitrated live with the executive committee: costed, compliant and fundable.​
03. Skuld, what must be — Governance
Governance is not chosen, it is derived from your own numbers. At six months it fits into a one-hour meeting per quarter, and the teams are self-sufficient.​
Every assignment ends with a handover: the credit and the knowledge stay with those who stay.
What sets me apart
​A presence that soothes and sets things moving again
I work in demanding, often tense environments where teams need a stable framework and clear direction. I combine calm discipline, deep listening, and the ability to absorb pressure to help everyone regain clarity and energy.
:
-
Calming leadership
-
Structuring requirement
-
Transmission and autonomy
( I'll leave when everything is working without me...)
(That's my signature .)
