About

Passionate about new technologies, I have chosen to start my career in the automotive field with the enthusiasm of the autonomous vehicle. My knowledge in the field and my analytical skills enabled me to quickly implement innovative solutions to meet the various challenges I was offered. I started as a systems engineer in order to keep an overview of the technologies we are developing. I am now an innovation project manager and I direct my own projects by being a force of proposal and visionary on what the field demands. From experience, innovation with a supportive and motivated team is second to none. It is in this sense that I make it a priority to always remain attentive to new proposals and to clearly identify the problems of my teammates. I am constantly looking for new challenges.
