I have disabled the "Data for Generative AI Improvement" option on LinkedIn
Since September 18, 2025, LinkedIn has informed its European users that, starting November 3, 2025, some of their personal data and content may be used to train its generative AI models, unless they explicitly object. This policy was previously only in place for US users. I chose to disable this option to maintain control over my work data.

Cybersecurity Conference - 1 year later...
📍 Spring 2024, Chantilly Golf Course . Facing an audience of executives, I began my presentation on digital transformation with a shock tactic: 💥 330,000 successful cyberattacks in France in 2022. 7% of SMEs affected… but an average cost of €130,000 to recover.

🔐 Google recommends changing your password immediately… and I did!
I don't have a Gmail account, but for my personal Google account, I took this precaution and changed my password as soon as the alert was issued. Thanks to unique passwords for each of my sites, managed via a password manager, and two-factor authentication, the incident was quickly closed. Even for an expert, cybersecurity starts with simple but essential actions. #Cybersecurity #PasswordManagement #CIO #DigitalTransformation #ComputerSecurity https://lnkd.in/eVPn

An outsourced CIO who acts like a member of the team… and a trusted partner 🤝
When I get involved in a company, I don't stay on the sidelines. I sit down at the table, immerse myself in the culture, and act as if I were a full-fledged member of the team 🤝 Trust is at the heart of this approach. Because on a daily basis, I have access to what the company holds most sensitive: its data, its strategic projects, its vision. Without confidentiality and loyalty, it's impossible to build a strong and lasting collaboration 🔒✨ And this logic also extends to m
