Profile Summary

Armed with endless Excel files, a meme catalog worthy of the best X'os (formerly twittos), and a risk register to make your favorite risk manager jealous, I swapped my computer scientist cape a few years ago for that of a (cyber) threat hunter with the honorary title of CISO (Conglomerate of Information Security Oracles). Ah, and I am also a quadruple senior certified ISO27001/2/5, not bad, right? It's French. Originating from a town that prides itself on being lawless, and which was renamed "Nameless-Town" during the last revolution, I could only mirror this town: raw, far from norms and conventions, with an agile and artistic spirit. Exiled in Belgium for a decade, it was more for the love of fries than the Belgian taxation of independents and companies that I stayed in the flat country. Holder of a risk management degree awarded by HarvardX, I primarily deliver CISO-as-a-Service/vCISO, audit, and ISO27001 certification preparation missions. I am also a trainer on ISO2700X standards, speaker/panelist, and I am a vegetable juice specialist (wait, what?). I am also a DJ and producer (progressive house/techno). Life also blessed me with a budding teammate, my son Maxim-François, and a four-legged cheer squad, Pastis and Harley. And between us, I am convinced that if Olympique de Marseille gave me a chance, I could lead them to victory from the bench (or at least from my couch)! A mix of cybersecurity expert, part-time DJ, doting dad, and self-proclaimed coach, I am always ready to share a slice of life, a slice of code, or a slice of music. So, if you're ready to dive into the fascinating world of cybersecurity or just curious to know what is the latest music I am working on, indulge yourself and write to me.
