Who I am

Cybersecurity engineer turning technical depth into business value

With 5+ years across Deloitte, Société Générale (NYC & Paris), and my own startup OAC, I've built a rare combination of hands-on technical depth and client-facing delivery. I've designed IAM architectures, led PoC cycles, and run cyber crisis exercises for C-level boards at France's top companies.

What drives me is the intersection of technology and business impact. My goal is to step into a Solution Engineer role where I can help enterprise clients evaluate and adopt leading cybersecurity and IAM products — combining demo engineering, discovery, and technical storytelling.

PoC & PoV Leadership

Designed and led proof-of-concept cycles for IAM and PAM products at Deloitte — demonstrating technical ROI to CISO and IT Directors.

Executive Communication

Led cyber crisis simulations for C-level boards (ComEx) — translating complex technical scenarios into boardroom-level decisions.

Multi-Platform IAM Expertise

Hands-on across the full IAM stack: Okta, CyberArk, SailPoint, Saviynt, Ping Identity — from architecture design to production deployment.

Founder Mindset

Co-founded OAC — managing product vision, GTM strategy, and client acquisition end-to-end. I think like a builder, not just a consultant.
