For more than 10 years, the operational character of the responsibilities which I challenged enabled me to acquire professional maturity and realism.
With a higher technical and commercial education, I succeeded in building up an international professional career (expatriation in Germany, England and Spain) in a business to business environment, within industrial groups. I am multilingual and accustomed to work in multi-field and multicultural team.
These experiments enabled me to study many industrial processes, but also to apprehend varied problems thanks to which I have today a global vision of the company.
Animated with an Entrepreneurial spirit with good analytical skills, my main centres of interests are business strategy and development.
