Paris
SUMMARY :
After receiving a general instruction bringing me to an Engineer degree at Ecole des Mines de Paris, I have been working in IT since 1986.
My positions in IT include IT development, for an insurance Company and for my current airline AIR FRANCE, with all type of projects from Schedule management, Crew assignment optimization to Online reservation, in technical environments ranging from IBM mainframes to Linux based J2EE systems.
I have also head of IT users support, managing our 3 internal IT help desks; and making sure we would be ready for the big Y2K leap, which we passed without a hiccup.
Following position was as director of a transversal and supporting department within Air France IT development, a team of 100 people in charge of development engineering and support, development methodology, middleware, reusable components, advanced GUIs.
In 2005, I was assigned as Chief Enterprise Architect for AIR FRANCE KLM IT. In this position, the most important challenge was to enable interoperability and partial merging of AF and KL IT systems, and to foster alignment on a common Technology roadmap.
In April 2012, I switched to IT operations, where I was in charge of engineering and operations for Security, Internet & Internet, SOA & Middleware and Databases.
Then, in 2016 I was appointed Director of the AIR FRANCE/ KLM Technology Coaching and Expertise Center in IT development with a focus on adopting a fully Agile New Way of Working, promoting Innovation within our IT Development community and implementing "best in class" DEVOPS practices.
In 2022, after the turmoil of the COVID crisis which had hit airlines severely, I decided to quit the Air France / KLM group, where I had been busy for 36 years and look for new opportunities.
