Currently, as Head of CERT Group at Crédit Agricole, I manage a diverse team, overseeing cybersecurity for over 140,000 users in an international environment. My role balances 50% operational duties and 50% management tasks, reporting directly to the Group CISO and IT Board. Prior to this, I founded MG Consultants, leading international PCI DSS and IT infrastructure projects. I have also held pivotal roles in IT systems and networks at Cap Gemini, where I managed a range of international projects, emphasizing system migrations and network engineering. Key highlights of my career include: Leading the PCI DSS compliance and certification projects at Crédit Agricole Cards & Payments, managing a budget over €5 million and a team of 150+ across multiple subsidiaries. Successfully launching CTN1, a company revolutionizing the dedicated server market, and scaling Linux Motor, my first entrepreneurial venture, which played a significant role in the open-source movement. I specialize in IT security and compliance (PCI DSS), network engineering, and crisis management in IT projects. My career is marked by a passion for innovation in technology, from open-source evangelism to advancing cybersecurity capabilities. Notable clients and projects include Microsoft France, Elf Atochem, France Telecom, and Société Générale, among others. I bring a unique blend of technical acumen and strategic leadership to every role, ensuring successful project delivery and operational excellence."
