I have been involved in the mobile industry since 1992. During these years, I have taken part in product development and management as well as launching mobile solutions and technologies for mass-market consumers.
Then, I have been in charge of handset product marketing and product development teams. As the matter of fact, in several international conditions (Asia, US, Europe), I was responsible of the whole handset chain: From initial marketing requirements to final handset deliveries.
For the last 3 years I have worked in international fields at DoCoMo organizing, chairing and animating product marketing and technical working of the worldwide group of 14 i-mode operators. This position required leadership, negotiation capacity, and some sense of humor(!) to define a common strategy for mobile internet services in Europe and Japan.
I have always been passionate about bringing to market successful product solutions in a fast moving and innovative world where new challenges call for entrepreneurial spirit.
