About Lionel
I turn chaotic backlogs into shipping products and confused stakeholders into aligned ones — all without breaking a single governance rule. Seven years embedded in nuclear operations will do that to you. PSPO I certified, Brussels-based, and available for the kind of long-term missions where things actually need to get done. If your product needs structure, accountability, and someone who won't flinch under pressure — let's talk.
