Work History
Team Lead Microsoft 365 AI Business Solutions
Inetum
As Team Lead Microsoft 365 AI Business Solutions, I lead and steer a team of experts shaping the next generation of digital workplace and AI solutions. My focus is strategic. I define our direction, build new services and offerings, and bring them to market (GTM), while keeping operational planning grounded and execution sharp.
Just as important is the team itself. I want every member to feel equally part of what we're building, in an environment where people grow, contribute, and thrive together.
We're also exploring cross-border European collaboration, from Portugal to Switzerland, with tangible lines to our HQ in France. The goal is to turn local expertise into shared, continent-wide capability.
