About Alexandre Franco

I have a diverse range of experience spanning various knowledge domains, including business, IT delivery & services, and architecture. My expertise extends to the banking, consulting, and consumer products sectors. Since 2021, I have joined BBC Studios in the media and entertainment field, supporting its mission to inspire, inform, educate, and entertain global audiences through innovative technology.Boasting over 20 years of international experience and cross-cultural teamwork, I am an advocate for collaboration, experimentation, vulnerability, and continuous improvement. These principles guide me to consistently deliver innovative solutions, value-driven business results, commercial benefits, and enhanced people experiences.Daily, I ask how to make things different and better. I prefer to engage with change rather than resist it. I embrace the fear of failure as a reason to try. Learning is a continuous journey for me. I don't beat me up over things beyond my control. One certainty is that I am better today than I was six months ago, and I will be even better in the next six months.As AI becomes integrated to our daily lives, not to replace us but to automate every step that we can solve in a fraction of time, be in the forefront of change, innovation, exploration is a mandate. But how? In my journey, regardless of the challenges and emerging trends, I am committed to learning, taking action, connecting with others, sharing my experiences, and fostering my curiosity. My intent is to consistently make a real and positive impact on others, deliver value, and bring people, technology, and investments all together.

    Lead Enterprise Architect - Commercial System
    Bbc Studios Oct 2021 - Oct 2023
    London, Gb
    I joined Studios driven by the aspiration to learn, grow, and contribute to its mission of inspiring, informing, educating, and entertaining audiences through technology. In this role, prioritised by business vision and strategy, collaborating with other architects and stakeholders I created tailored artefacts that guided direction, execution, and decision-making in technology investments whilst leading the shaping of EA practice. This led to simplification, faster time-to-market, exploration of new opportunities, and effective problem-solving. Additionally, I gained insights into the organisational culture, values, and operational methods whilst actively contributing to and leading various initiatives as listed below:- PROBLEM: no single source of truth and lack of visibility of Studios technology landscape, time-consuming to develop and communicate architecture artefacts, reliance on individuals' knowledge. SOLUTION: Led LeanIX implementation working with cross functional teams. VALUE: Self-service access to its technology landscape information and artefacts. Empowered architects with information at hand to evaluate change impacts, opportunities, and risks efficiently.- PROBLEM: No or low visibility of commercial domain state, increasing risk, time-to-market, poor decisions while assessing change impact or opportunities. SOLUTION: developed visualisations in LeanIX. VALUE: enhanced awareness of As-Is and To-Be promoting conversations across stakeholders. Architecture work and advisory role visibility improved. Increased architects' ability to respond quicker to problems and changes.-PROBLEM: solutions delivered on silos increasing risk of strategic misalignment, building up technical debit, landscape complexity. SOLUTION: led design and execution of EA operating model working with cross functional teams. VALUE: value-based decisions, improved alignment with strategy, and tech principles. Enhanced quality and increased reusability.
