PODCAST: Arthur Chambenoit, Schneider Electric: “From sales representative to cybersecurity PMO”.

Arthur Chambenoit’s journey at Schneider Electric, from a commercial role to a cybersecurity project management office, illustrates that the digital sector includes positions combining technical awareness and coordination.

A project management office helps track risks, milestones, dependencies and communication between specialists. Someone with commercial experience may bring strong stakeholder and prioritisation skills, provided the transition is supported by appropriate knowledge of cybersecurity concepts and the project’s operational context.

Listening to an individual career journey can make the digital sector less intimidating. There is no single entry route: some people begin in technical education, while others move from operations, business services or creative professions. The common themes are learning, teamwork and the capacity to adapt. For employers, these accounts encourage more precise thinking about which skills are essential on day one and which can be developed through mentoring and practice. The interviewee’s job title belongs to the time of the recording.
