About me
Yann JOUVENEAUX
30 years of experience on international executive committees in industrial mid-sized companies, at your service...
I am Yann Jouveneaux, interim CIO, specialized in stabilizing, aligning, and transforming organizations under pressure.
I step in when complexity increases, priorities become blurred, and teams need a clear framework to move forward.
I created the Holkyia brand to embody my way of operating: a human, structured, and demanding approach that gets organizations moving again. Even today, in a consulting capacity, I continue to use this brand to ensure continuity of identity, method, and values.
My role is simple: provide visibility, absorb pressure, realign teams, and secure operations, while preparing an organization capable of moving forward without me.
"I leave when everything works without me—that is my signature!"
Mon parcours en bref
30 years of IT management in the Executive Committee, serving transformation and turnaround
I have built my career in demanding environments (industry, agri-food, energy, transport, defense) where operational pressure, external growth, critical projects, and international contexts are the norm
Since 2023
Interim CIO
I intervene to stabilize, realign, and transform organizations under stress:
-
recovery of critical situations,
-
failed ERP projects,
-
rapid external growth,
-
governance to rebuild,
-
AI/Data Strategy
-
NIS2 / ISO27001 cybersecurity to structure,
-
demobilized teams to lift.
Each assignment concludes with a proper handover and an organization capable of moving forward without me.
