As an employee of several large industrial companies (EASTMAN KODAK for more than 15 years), I have been in charge of:
- different key functions in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY,
- managing cross-functional PROJECTS and finally
- MANAGING a FACTORY.
My experience has led me to work with international teams for significant durations in FRANCE, USA (2 years) and now CHINA for the last 8 years.
I am graduated from the French College "INSA de Lyon", with a degree in Mechanical Engineering that I obtained in 1979
I also have a degree in Econometrics that I obtained in 1981 in Montpellier University.
I am interested to pursue my carreer in an international environment with a senior position either in IT or as Manager of a significant cross-functional project, preferably in Asia or in France.
