SENIOR PRODUCT MANAGER / EXECUTIVE CONSULTANT— AI, IIoT & DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION Dual Citizen: France & U.S. | Available for International Relocation / Travel Senior Product Manager and Executive Consultant with 25+ years leading AI, IIoT, and digital transformation programs across energy, smart infrastructure, manufacturing, supply chain and logistics. Smart-city and port-digitalization work spans Dubai, Singapore, Beijing/Tianjin, Shanghai, Antwerp, and multinational port authorities. Track record of launching 100+ products and advising on $25B+ in commercial impact. Fluent in cross-border, multi-stakeholder delivery across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, APAC, North America, and South America. I've worked in 50 countries across 5 continents and remotely managed teams in 15 countries. Languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Swahili, and Tok Pisin. I use LinkedIn to say "thank you!" to clients, partners, friends, and collaborators. The common thread throughout my career has been solving big puzzles with brilliant people. If that sounds like fun, it is! I'm so deeply grateful for all the adventures I've been able to be part of and all of the industries I've been able to learn about and help transform along the way. I want to thank my Grandfather for infecting me with incurable curiosity-itis and for teaching me to unpuzzle the complex workings of factories and supply chains. What a gift! Thanks to Tom Hixson for hiring the snot-nosed-kid version of me straight out of Berkeley and giving me the space to find award-winning ways to optimize a 200-million-dollar federal project. Those awards proved that I could use technology to solve puzzles and a couple years later I found myself with one of the strongest AI teams in the world and a dream roster of clients. In 1997, I had the opportunity to take what I'd learned and design and lead development of an AI system that has been learning and adapting and transacting business since 1998. If you want a good laugh, ask me about the tech stack we built it on and its performance. I then got hired by the legendary Fred Otteson into an elite "Decision & Workflow Technology" team where I learned to fuse AI and Simulation. I've been so lucky to have incredible mentors and bosses along the way. Thanks to you all!
