I completed my engineering studies in Computer Networks and Multimedia by a Masters in Techology Management at Grenoble Ecole de Management (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS). I wanted to develop new skills allowing me to apply for a Business Developper position in an multinational company. I would like to put together my business approach and my technical sensitivity in order to anticipate and create innovative services.
My prior experiences abroad enable me to lead work meetings in English. I have two nationalities (French and Mexican) and I feel perfectly comfortable in an International environment.
