Delphine Icart

From the beginning, I developed a taste for the intersection between teams and capabilities where value is hidden and bridges are missing.

With a dual background in Information Systems and Management, I’ve led business-critical transformations across financial services and software sectors—from Big Four consulting to COO, CEO, and NED roles.

I’ve scaled organizations, restructured operations, and delivered P&L impact by aligning technology, business strategy, and people.

I’ve led cross-border teams (up to 850 FTEs) across five countries—and held leadership roles in the Middle East, the U.S., the U.K., and Mexico—bringing a truly global perspective to every transformation.

Key Achievements:

• Restructured financials, reducing losses from $16M to near breakeven

• Optimized IT budgets by 20% while sharpening investment priorities

• Scaled SaaS and software businesses with globally aligned operating models

• Improved system availability from 80% to 98%, boosting client satisfaction

• Led enterprise-wide Agile transformations across IT, Data, Security, and Ops

• Energized teams and secured buy-in through cultural alignment and clear communication

• Built partnerships and JVs to accelerate innovation and market growth

My leadership style is direct, people-focused, and execution driven - creating clarity from complexity, and ensuring transformation sticks by mobilizing teams, not just systems.
