About Jean-Marc

Freelance Technical Project Manager, System Engineer and Functional Safety Assesor specializing in complex projects for the Medical Device and Automotive industries.


I firmly believe that the worker is the solution; my approach is centered on active listening, mutual respect, and fostering strong team exchanges to drive technical success.


Proven track record leading large, diverse international teams (20+ people) by reducing stress, boosting involvement, and aligning everyone toward shared goals.


Expert in requirements management (JAMA, Polarion, DOORS) and cross-department coordination from presale to final product delivery. Let’s collaborate and push together to optimize your processes and elevate your projects!


I am available for Freelance Engineering Projects.

--------------------

As a Project Manager, I often lead international teams scattered across different time zones and cultures. In one of my roles, I managed a global team that had no open conflicts, yet suffered from clunky communication and a lack of synergy—which directly impacted our efficiency and delivery quality.

As Functional Safety Assesor, I am focused on ISO26262 standard and my experience of project development process.
(ISO 26262, Functional Safety, Automotive SPICE, Safety Assessment, HARA, FMEA, FTA, ASIL D)


Instead of adding more rigid procedures, I decided to focus on building trust. I introduced an informal session where team members shared local cultural festivals and traditions. This simple initiative broke the ice, sparked genuine curiosity, and completely shifted our dynamic. Today, those casual cultural exchanges are a natural part of our pre-meeting routine. By intentionally creating space for human connection, I transformed a disconnected group of individuals into a high-performing, cohesive Team.
