• HSBC Private Bank - Head of IT Operations & Telecommunications

  Paris 1999 - 2008 RNB taken over by HSBC, my new responsibilities were to Manage the IT Operations &
  Telecommunications for HSBC Private Bank Headquarter in Geneva. The Swiss Data Center
  is running the operations for the locations worldwide. The operations are 24x7 and requires
  a strong back-up and disaster recovery plans. These last should be tested at least once a year.
  The services to be provided are based on Service Level Agreements. The costs associated to
  running the operations are charged back to the different locations using the services. One of
  the main responsibilities is to prepare and manage the budget, Investment as well as
  Recurring costs. The challenge is to keep within the IT Operations budget. An other
  responsibility is to rationnalise the Operations by Consolidating the different Data Centres
  toward the Main Data Center in Geneva. Associated to this rationalisation, a reduction of the
  unit rates (cost items) by 10% per year, is the target linked to the job responsibility. We need
  to converge to a standard Unit Rate defined for all the HSBC main Data Centres. For
  achieving this, ruthless standardisation, at all levels is required, including for the desktops.
  HSBC being present Offshore, we have to use these locations, and the rate of penetration
  pertains to the objectives assigned to the Job.
