ABOUT STEPHANE J.
An ITAM consultant by trade, with over 20 years’ experience in Information Technology, I gained knowledge of various Tech disciplines with a particular focus on Asset & Software Asset Management in their early days of market awareness and client adoption.With the generalisation of ITIL, ITAM and SAM activities across Europe, I moved to London to co-found my own niche ITAM practice, building the business from a government backed loan start-up to a specialist Technology & Consulting organisation, servicing global clients and recognised by industry peers as one of the market leaders over its 16-year tenure.Driven by the ever-changing world of Tech, and in particular with the adoption of Cloud, a refocus was in order and I went back to my roots as an independent, tool agnostic, ITAM Principal Consultant, helping organisations manage their existing and future asset investments whilst fine-tuning their operational teams.In 2021, after many years of consulting, I joined the iconic brand CHANEL as their Global ITAM Director on a full-time basis, part of the Strategic Vendor Management Office in the London HQ.
