Retail and consumer goods have always been close to my heart. The impact is visible every single day, in stores, supply chains, digital experiences, and the way brands connect with people. What drew me to Xebia is the chance to make AI, cloud, and modern engineering truly practical, useful, and measurable for clients. At its core, retail is a very human business. My focus will be on building a practice that’s deeply client-focused, commercially sharp, and firmly grounded in the realities of this industry.
