Philippe Lecomte Work Experience Details
  • Baker Hughes
    Trax Implementation Consultant
    Baker Hughes Oct 2018 - Dec 2023
    London, England, United Kingdom
    I was a key member of the PwC project team that has been instrumental to manage the transition of Baker Hughes to become a standalone company after the separation from GE. This involved the implementation of Trax as a Payment Factory and Quantum as TMS. My key responsibility was to perform the bank onboarding of 60+ cash management banks of Baker Hughes on SWIFT and to act as Trax expert working with the FIS Professional Services consultants.
  • Comcast Capital Corp
    Payment Factory Implementation Consultant
    Comcast Capital Corp Jan 2020 - Dec 2022
    As member of the PwC Treasury team, I helped to deploy the Payment Factory System Trax at Comcast Capital Corporation and its business units NBC Universal, Comcast and Sky. The implementation covered North America and Europe and has been leading to increased payment efficiency and visibility on cash. Integration with Quantum and various ERP platforms was successfully implemented. Bank Onboarding with leading US and European cash management banks was also an integral part of my role at Comcast.
  • Swift

    Swift Jan 2015 - Nov 2018
    Brussels Area, Belgium
    As seasoned consultant in the SWIFT for Corporates space, I have an advisory role at SWIFT helping them on an ad hoc basis with several strategic initiatives related to corporates on SWIFT. My current focus is on enablement of the cash management and treasury management vendor community for the SWIFT gpi (Global Payments Innovation). Other activities are covered such as the streamlining of the SWIFT and bank onboarding process, development of consulting services bundles for corporates, review of SWIFT certification tracks for Certified Corporate Advisors and Specialists and project management of various corporate clients joining SWIFT.
  • Intertrust Group
    Trax Implementation Manager
    Intertrust Group Jan 2018 - Oct 2018
    Intertrust Group performs a wide range of financial services to its customers. To streamline the payment processes and achieve better single-window visibility on their cash management position, they implemented Trax as a payment factory. As lead consultant for FIS, I performed the full implementation from solution design over bank on-boarding to UAT testing and go-live.
  • Adm
    Trax Implementation Manager
    Adm May 2017 - Mar 2018
    ADM is a leading manufacturer of agricultural goods. ADM selected Trax as payment factory solution to achieve better payment traceability and statement visibility.

    Trax/Bank Onboarding Project Manager
    Johnson Controls Nov 2016 - Jun 2017
    Brussels Area, Belgium
    As the business lines of Tyco and Johnson Controls were integrated post-merger, I managed the project bank onboarding of Tyco's cash management banks onto the existing SWIFT channel that Johnson Controls has since many years. Implementation of Tyco's banks and bank accounts in the Trax application (cash management solution from FIS) was achieved in 6 months as per the agreed schedule. This gives the joint Johnson Controls/Tyco Treasury team visibility on cash and enhanced liquidity management that is required.
  • Adient
    Trax/Bank Onboarding Project Manager
    Adient Dec 2015 - Jul 2016
    Brussels Area, Belgium
    As Johnson Controls performed the spin off of their Automotive Business line to the newly created company Adient, it was imperative that all existing cash management business flows were transitioned from the Johnson Controls SWIFT channel to a SWIFT channel of Adient itself. This had to be carefully managed with the cash management banks I managed the Trax/SWIFT implementation of this business critical project for Adient, in close partnership with Johnson Controls. In 5 months time, all bank contracts were redone, all business flows were transitioned and all payments and statement reporting flows tested and implemented.
  • International Air Transport Association (Iata)
    Senior Banking Connectivity Project Manager
    International Air Transport Association (Iata) Dec 2011 - Jan 2013

They had joined the SWIFT SCORE programme and were seeking for help to onboard their 70 cash management banks in 125 countries by the end of 2014. At the end of 2012, I had managed to implement live messaging with 50 of their banks in 100 countries and preparations were well underway to onboard the remaining banks in 2013. I worked closely with the IATA Corporate Treasurer to negotiate substantial cost reductions with the cash management banks and succeeded in giving IATA full visibility on their cash flows through a single-window approach using the SWIFT network and standards.More information about this reference customer can be found on my website www.lplusconsulting.com
