About

Passionated about aerospace systems, I have built a strong industrial experience in developping, manufacturing aeronautical system. During my 15 years at MBDA, I led some strategic partnership, such as the preparation of the Sarkozy – Brown meetings which led to the Lancaster House agreement for defence and security cooperation between France and the UK. I also developed strong industrial experience as program director of the Missile Moyenne Portée, from concept phase to serial production and then as Sector head for Naval Systems Integration. I finally had the chance to face export challenges (middle east, Asia, Europe, South America) as Sector Head of naval systems integration, which is the largest export business of MBDA. I decided to join FLYING WHALES to grow the company from a new mobility start-up to an aeronautical company. Challenges are manyfolds, from company governance, to processes development not forgetting the development of the product and building an industrial consortium.
