Philippe possède une expérience solide de 8 ans en tant que Coach Agile d’Entreprise et de plus 20 ans en tant que Développeur Agile principalement en salles de marchés. Il a contribué à plusieurs programmes d'agilité à l'échelle. Il sait comment catalyser une véritable agilité grâce à son expérience.

En effet l'agilité souffre actuellement d'un trop grand investissement dans les structures organisationnelles et les pratiques associées. Un rééquilibre est possible si nous redonnons du pouvoir à l'humain, à notre capacité à ressentir et à surtout créer du sens, et à nous relier en tant que systèmes humains afin de favoriser la collaboration et de faire émerger des solutions innovantes.

Pour cela, Philippe s'est formé au RSI™ (Intelligence Relationnelle Systémique) et au coaching systémique ORSC™ (Coaching Systémique pour les Organisations et les Relations). Il a expérimenté cette approche lors de ses missions et plus particulièrement lorsqu'il a travaillé avec une équipe de Managers.

Il est également formé pour accompagner des équipes à tous les niveaux d’une organisation et faire évoluer leur leadership. Il a démontré son approche aussi bien avec des équipes Produit dans le Digital que managériales. En faisant grandir le leadership à différents niveaux d’une organisation, ses clients bénéficient de structures performantes alignées avec la culture et la stratégie de l’entreprise.

Aujourd'hui, Philippe est en train de finir la traduction du livre d'une des co-fondatrices d'ORSC : "Systems Inspired Leadership" et il débute son parcours de certification ORSC qui se terminera en Juin 2025.

I am a computer engineering student at USC, passionate about technology and entrepreneurship. Additionally, I serve as the treasurer of the GDG Santiago de Compostela association, which plays a fundamental role in the Galician community.
