Summary
Yannick Boursin is a seasoned technology and security leader with over a decade of cross-disciplinary experience spanning software development, bioinformatics, Linux systems, and executive IT management. He has led large technical organizations in healthcare and public sectors—most recently as Directeur Cloud Privé & Projets Majeurs at Hermès and previously as CIO/CMT at the Rothschild Foundation Hospital—managing multi-million euro budgets, large teams and complex infrastructure. His background in biology and computer science, plus a Master in IT management from Paris 1, gives him a rare ability to bridge clinical research needs and robust IT/security operations (HPC, IAM, NIS2, HAS compliance). Known for driving organizational maturity—introducing ITIL-aligned governance, enterprise service management and identity onboarding—he combines hands-on technical depth with strategic delivery. He also runs Advinix for audits and due diligences and teaches IT law at the Sorbonne, reflecting a commitment to both practice and pedagogy. An uncommon thread in his career is early bioinformatics tooling and HPC work that shaped his pragmatic approach to delivering production-grade research and clinical systems.
