Cédric Devillechaise, Senior Freelance Consultant
Cédric Devillechaise
Founder, Devexo
After more than 15 years at GSK Vaccines, across the Wavre and Rixensart sites, I developed an uncommon hybrid profile: an expert who operates naturally at the interface between the shop floor, digital tools and regulatory compliance. Three worlds I have always seen as complementary, never opposing.
Maintenance methods and planning have been the thread running through those fifteen years. Around that, I took on the unit's CSV and Data Integrity reference role, then compliance: deviation investigation, CAPA, and point of contact for systems and records during FDA and AFMPS audits. These roles placed me at the interface between maintenance, production, quality and engineering teams.
Throughout those years, I have always worked with a focus on data, rigour and adoption: I designed workflows and reporting that teams actually adopted, improved Master Data quality, and brought the voice of the field into digital initiatives, because a tool only creates value once the people who use it embrace it.
Today, I bring this expertise to your projects through Devexo, my independent consulting practice. My goal: deliver concrete value, quickly, without the friction of a large organisation.
Planning and coordination of technical shutdowns, optimisation of preventive and corrective maintenance, reliability oversight, with a lifecycle and maintenance-excellence mindset.
Driven by the business. I bring the voice of the field to maintenance digitalisation projects: requirements definition, change management and adoption, data quality, workflow optimisation (SAP PM; transferable to other CMMS/EAM systems).
Reinforcement on maintenance and engineering deviations: investigation, root cause analysis and CAPA definition.
At the intersection of operations, digital and compliance: a combination of skills rarely found in a single person. With a natural curiosity for tools and a demonstrated ability to master any new environment quickly.
Long-term immersion at GSK Vaccines: a deep understanding of the processes, challenges and quality culture specific to large pharmaceutical organisations.
I translate field needs into tools, workflows and reporting that are actually adopted, data quality and continuous improvement included. No digital for digital's sake.
I calibrate effort to real risk and real need, without over-producing. A short procedure that gets followed beats an exhaustive document nobody opens.
My hybrid profile has often led me to take on unconventional engagements, at the intersection of maintenance, digitalisation and compliance. If your project is complex or cross-functional, that's exactly where I deliver the most value: let's talk.
