in my backpack
more than 80 organisations, four continents, seven sectors.
Public services, manufacturing industry, healthcare, energy, finance, media, sports federations.
My job is first to listen, to understand your context and its subtleties, before structuring and recommending an approach that is fitting, effective and realistic.
— What keeps RecurRing
A leadership team that has to decide fast, scattered data to reconcile, a budget not to be wasted, a supplier or a solution to choose. The fundamental questions remain.
— what changes
Runaway technology acceleration. Digital sovereignty, no longer a given. Geopolitics inviting itself into supplier contracts. A supply chain we have seen become fragile.

How I Work
What I actually do
Recto
- I listen first: your context, your constraints, your habits, your friction points, and sometimes what is not said straight away.
- I help you ask the right questions before rushing to the answers. It is less spectacular, but it saves you paying dearly to solve the wrong problem.
- I bridge business and technology, two worlds that do not always speak the same language.
- I bring coherence to what is scattered: software, data, processes, providers, responsibilities, pending decisions.
- I make technical subjects understandable, without distorting them or draining them of their substance.
- I help you decide clearly, take the first steps, then take back the reins.
What I will not put you through
Verso
- I do not turn every problem into a “digital transformation project”. Sometimes you just need to clarify who does what, with which data, and why.
- I do not turn up with a miracle method, proprietary jargon or a 47-box diagram to explain what everyone had already grasped.
- I sell no software, nor hardware, nor disguised subscriptions. No hidden commission behind my recommendations.
- I do not write production code. My first programs ran on a TI-57; I still have a genuine soft spot for it, but that is no longer where my value lies.
- I do not replace your teams, your providers or your specialists. I help them understand each other better and move in the same direction.
- I do not pretend to know. When something falls outside my scope, I say so plainly and point you towards the right expertise.

My principles
An organization that has to move fast and get it right does not need heavy methods.
Designed for large corporations, they often produce the opposite effect in more compact organisations: more procedures than decisions, more mapping than movement.
Technology is not a building site to complete, it is a piece of land to live in.
You don’t finish it with a handover date and a ribbon to cut. You live in it, maintain it, adapt it as needs change. The right system isn’t the one that impresses, it’s the one that helps the business move forward without losing its way.
Good advice cannot be imported, it is built se construit.
I come with experience, not with a suitcase full of ready-made answers. As a stubborn Candide, I like asking simple questions and helping solutions emerge with you when ideas meet reality, not when a model is imposed from the outside.
My promise
You are not paying for neatly packaged fog.
I will tell you what I see, including when it is not the most comfortable message. With respect and candor. Without dramatising to sell the next step. Without sidestepping the topics that deserve a real discussion.
And sometimes, yes, we’ll have to take the byway. Because a good detour is often better than a bad straight line.
Jetons-nous dans cette petite barque, laissons-nous aller au courant ; une rivière mène toujours à quelque endroit habité.
(Voltaire, Candide, ch. XVII)
