About

⭐️ My name is Antoine and I support companies and government agencies in their cloud transformations, from build to run. With over 20 years of experience in IT (particularly infrastructure), I made the public cloud my speciality when I joined Beamap in 2013, a pioneer in cloud consulting in France. I combine my technical experience and tech-savvy skills with my role as a consultant. This dual role as a thinker-doer allows me to navigate between strategic vision and operational reality and to support you throughout the entire life cycle of your project or product. My interests and experience have naturally led me to focus on those subjects for which I maintain a constant curiosity and strong commitment. ✅ Public Cloud, financial operations and sustainability convergence ✅ Cloud adoption & usage strategy (business cases and cost assessment, roadmap, impact analysis, deployment) ✅ Architecture & technological knowledge, previously on-prem (VMWare, supervision, storage), now Cloud-Centric. ✅ Support and management of Cloud-oriented projects: implementation of CCoE, Move To Cloud, Dataplatform, FinOps, CI/CD. ✅ Project management with a knowledge of team efficiency (Lean, ToC, DevOps, Agile) See https://www.mezenc.it or PM me 📨 !
