About Jacques
30 years of complex project management and leadership in IT/Telecom, complemented in 2025 by a Data Product Manager & Data Scientist degree (RNCP Level 7).
My edge: I’m not a Data Scientist discovering the business world — I’m a senior who knows it inside out and applies that expertise to high-impact AI projects. A coding Data Product Manager who turns product vision into working solutions.
