After starting my carriere as analyst programmer at PMC, St Maur, France, for a system of video security with motion detection capability.
Three years as passed and I was ready to go to an other challenge...
Well, this how I end up at Santa Clara California to work at 8x8 Inc. as Technical advisor for the Marketing team promoting the IP Centrex during international trade shows. Then I had several roles: from Pre sales for the IP Centrex and SCE to Operation of the Pilot platform of Packet8 and to Project manager for Packet8 Pre paid program. The face of 8x8 has quite changed during these 4 and half years, it was a chip company, then it became a software vendor and now it is an ASP for residential and business markets.
In 2004, I decided to come back to France, in the French Riviera, to work in Centile, 8x8 spin off on the IP centrex side, where I wore my Technical Sales manager's suits since it is quite a technical sales.
Targets were The Tier3 operator and Alternative players (MVNOs).
I started to create some partnership, since the sales team was rather small, in order to get the traction and the recognition of our peers.
End of 2007, I decided that I wanted to work on larger deals so I joint Comverse Paris as Solution Architect with the following portfolio: TAS (Residential & Enterprise), IMS, FMC, IVR & Media Server. This is really exciting job!
