Your programme will land — and on time.
Independent consultant in project direction, PMO and project finance. Twelve years bringing portfolios, budgets and governance through — luxury, pharma, banking, insurance, industry, energy. You know where you want to arrive; I bring the route, the method and the tempo, and I hold the dates. And every morning I measure the project-management market — the figures on this page.

The guides — learning by reading
Each guide fits in one evening and can be practised the next day. It is my field method, written down.
The project-management market
What thousands of listings say about day rates, remote work and how long assignments live.
- Day rates measured role by role, with their ranges
- The map of local markets: where steering pays best
- What to train in: the rate gap by technology
- The words that raise a rate — and those that lower it
- Actual remote work, area by area
- How fast an assignment disappears
- Setting your rate in four steps, and answering objections
- The one-page summary, the glossary and my full method
Tick both boxes to continue — without them the order cannot be placed.
I would rather keep my right of withdrawal: order with the key delivered on the 15th day
Taking over a steering role
The first ten moves when you inherit a drifting programme. Written from real cases.
- The ten moves, in order
- The state of play that holds authority in one week
- How to refuse an untenable milestone
- Ready-to-fill templates
The PMO exercise workbook
Exercises to run on your own projects, with answers. Learning by doing.
- Exercises on YOUR projects, not textbook cases
- Commented answers
- The traps I see most often
- A progression order
Reading a portfolio
From the unreadable file to the dashboard that lets you decide. The method, not the tool.
- One single source: why three files lie
- What an executive committee must see on one page
- Deciding: the grid and its criteria
- The dashboard, ready to use
When to call me
Click your situation: the message leaves already qualified — and you get the matching tool while waiting for my reply.
Your programme is slipping mid-course
The go-live date is approaching and the plan no longer holds. I come in mid-flight: I rebuild a single authoritative plan, restore a steering committee that actually decides, and either hold the date or call the new one early enough to be credible.
Write to me about this →Your portfolio is unreadable
Nobody can say what is running, what is late, or what it will cost. I qualify, prioritise and get decisions made — then industrialise the governance so it holds without me.
Write to me about this →Your IT budget does not hold
A budget built under pressure, CAPEX and OPEX mixed, a roadmap nobody can verify. I frame it from scratch if needed, install a single arbitration grid, and ring-fence what has to land.

Join the SKARAB opening list
SKARAB, in the making: every day I come across assignments that deserve a good consultant. I will pass them on to trusted profiles, within a written and transparent framework.
A 30-minute call
You describe the context. I tell you plainly whether I am the right person — and if I am not, I say that too.
A written proposal
Scope, governance, deliverables — and a day rate aligned with the market I measure daily, not an opaque price grid.
Steering begins
On site or remote. First deliverable: a state of play that holds authority — what is running, at risk, and to be decided.
Pre-register
One email is enough — no commitment. You will be served first when the modules are released.
Receive the course
The video modules, the exercise workbooks and the toolbox templates — at your own pace.
Go further if needed
The Guided offer adds two one-to-one sessions with me: CV, LinkedIn profile and a mock interview to land the first job or assignment.
Write to me
Three lines are enough to start the conversation.
A straight answer
If I am not the right person, I say so — and point you in the right direction if I can.
Thirty minutes if useful
A slot books in one click if the exchange deserves it.
You join the list
Your speciality, your day rate, your availability. Nothing more: I do not need your CV to start.
I write when an assignment fits
I do not blast anything out: I send you the assignment that matches, with the client, the context and the budget.
You contract in your own name
No subcontracting: you sign directly with the client. My fee is written down and known before the introduction.
Tell me more — the message will leave already qualified
How enrolment works
- You receive your agreement. The training agreement, its detailed programme and the internal rules. You read them at your own pace and ask your questions.
- You sign, and you keep ten days to change your mind. No reason needed, no charge. During those ten days I cannot ask you for any payment: French law forbids it, and rightly so.
- After that, you pay 30 %. That is the maximum a training provider may collect before the start. You receive your access and we begin.
- The balance is paid in two instalments, as the course runs. When module 2 opens, then when module 4 opens. You never pay for what you have not yet received.
| Offer | On signature | After the 10 days | Module 2 | Module 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Complete | 0 € | 387 € | 452 € | 451 € |
| Guided | 0 € | 504 € | 588 € | 588 € |
No administration fee, no enrolment fee. Should the course stop part-way for a reason beyond your control, only the sessions already delivered are due.
or open in your default email app
Nothing is sent to this site: your email client opens, you review and send it yourself.
Available for assignments in the Paris region, in northern France, or fully remote. Describe the context in three lines and I will tell you plainly whether I am the right person.
What I do
I take on projects that need someone steering, not someone observing.
- Project and programme direction — framing, milestones, steering committees, arbitration. Governance that holds when the schedule moves.
- PMO and portfolio governance — forums, indicators, executive reporting. Making what is running legible.
- Project finance — budget, CAPEX/OPEX, management control. The cost trajectory as much as the schedule.
- Transformation and change management — ERP, HR information systems, data migration, target organisation.
Why me
I measure the market I bill you against
My day rate is aligned with the median I publish — verifiable on this page, recomputed at every record. You are not negotiating in the dark, and neither am I.
I build so I can leave
The rituals, tools and references I put in place outlive me — handover included. A PMO who becomes indispensable has failed.
Twelve years of solving problems
Slipping programmes, budgets to rebuild, unreadable portfolios: I have met your problem somewhere before. And I build my own tools to solve it faster.
What I have delivered — and what they say
My whole track record, assignment by assignment — with the client’s recommendation whenever they left one. Click a logo; the figures are those of my own scope.
Prepare the ERP cutover of a manufacturing site — one of three in the first French wave of a worldwide programme.
The full dossier — detailed track record, methods and tools — can be downloaded at the top and bottom of this page, in French or in English.
The market record
The record is my own market watch, made public. Every day I collect the published project-management assignments, follow each one until it disappears, and publish the figures — day rates, time to disappear, remote work, regions.
Measured on 24 August 2026 across 21 platforms, 6 962 listings followed since publication. These figures are recomputed at every record: they are not illustrative.
