French term (edited): main de ma�tre
Selected

An expertly led/managed strategic project.

You can choose between led or managed, I think that both give the sense of what is meant here.

French term (edited): main de ma�tre

strategic project completed with expert skill/ or the skill of an expert

"main de maître" litrerally means "hand of a master" and this expression is given in dictionaries. So could also use this expression too!

thanks!
neutral Charlie Bavington : not a big fan of "completed". Makes it sounds as if it there is some kind of contrast with the start of the project, as if it were started by amateurs, or something....

That's maybe a rather narrow view of "complete", but if you like you could put "carried out", "performed", etc.
