APICS CPIM and CSCP certified, I connect finance with operational reality: inventory, planning, supply chain.

I support executive teams, in France and abroad, at times when finance must be run with rigor and speed.

I also teach cost accounting and management control at NEOMA Business School, in both French and English.
