Territorial scoring · Geospatial intelligence · Data and product framing
I help local government, climate tech companies and infrastructure operators work out where to act and where to deploy: written criteria, dated sources, and enough to hold up in front of a council as well as an investment committee.
20 years in data and geospatial · Public sector and SaaS scale-up · First deliverables in 2 to 6 weeks
Lyon proof of concept, 2,009 zones scored · IGN BD TOPO base layer · criteria weighted 25, 25, 30, 20.
This score replaces no decision you already make. It makes those decisions explicit and shareable.
Data does not remove the risk. It lets you choose which one you take.
2 009
zones scored from 0 to 100
Urban geothermal deployment · Climate tech
Around ten multi-site prospects identified in Priority zones, across Lyon. Deliverables in the format of an investor pitch.
2026 proof of concept, open data
3 700
zones scored for more than 20 networks, on a long-running engagement
Modern data stack & industrialised scoring
Data function built from nothing: stack installed and coded (Fivetran, BigQuery, dbt, Dagster orchestration), team grown from 0 to 7 fully remote, product framed, then scoring industrialised. Still running.
Street by street
retail fragility analysed across Lyon
Retail vitality · Local government
Seeing which streets are slipping. An output format that quickly surfaces the micro-areas needing an action plan or further fieldwork.

Three bounded engagements, each with its own deliverable.
Where I have held this role
Product owner for the product: framing with business users, backlog prioritisation, specifications and acceptance criteria, user testing, then measuring real usage once in production. This is where I spent most of my time in this role.
Same role, on a product still being built and not public at this stage. I am glad to talk it through in person, within what I am free to say.
On both projects I held the role without the title: framing the interfaces, arbitrating features, back and forth with the staff who use them, through to going live.
Where to start
Each can be commissioned on its own, and none of them prejudges what comes next.
An inventory of the data available and of the gaps, three priority use cases ranked, a summary note with an effort estimate.
Audit of the existing grid, go and no-go criteria rewritten and weighted, a summary note, one investment committee slide.
A weighted criteria grid built together in a workshop, zones scored from 0 to 100, an interactive map delivered, ten to fifteen priority zones with their justification, one summary slide.
The profile
I am a geographer by training, with 20 years of experience across local government, consulting and startups. My natural role today is architect, Head of Geospatial Data: I design data systems, I help prioritise the right uses, and I am the link between technical teams and decision-makers.

"I lead data teams, I carry the product vision of the tools they build, and I turn complex spatial analysis into decisions that can be defended: in front of a board, investors, or elected officials."
A territorial decision to make?
30 minutes to frame your question, identify the data available and see whether scoring makes sense for you. No commitment.
Better decisions, faster, with less risk taken blind.
