Kim is a designer and tech innovator, known for his rich blend of expertises and strong beliefs in the power of Design. His obsessive curiosity led him to wear many hats in science, design, arts, economics, marketing and IT. He occasionally do lectures at institutions like École des Ponts Business School, Harvard Business School, Telecom Paristech, Polytechnique, and the Institute of Desirable Futures. As the former Head of Design at Air Liquide, Kim played a key role in the industrial group's tech transformation. He co-founded its Digital Factory, with a special department of 30+ designers, ethnographers, software and electro-mechanical engineers who aimed driving innovation, digital transformation and contributions to the group ecological transition. Being around the tech ecosystem for so long made him want to have a stronger taste of entrepreneurship and startups. During 5 years, Kim dived deep to do so: - he co-founded OneHome - an NGO which produces and promotes video images of Earth using a NASA-operated satellite, to spread the Overview Effect to a wide audience, - he created Good Galaxy - an initiative designing software and hardware tools to simplify regenerative agriculture, - he joined Hopium - a startup specialized in hydrogen mobility where he designed H2 stations and digital services for H2 distribution, - he's been part of Interstellar Lab - a farm-tech startup doing high-precision plant-culture for Earth and space, where he has led system design and digital product design, especially for Nucleus, a space food growing system awarded by NASA. Recently, he started to advise organizations, such as the CNES (the french space agency), on their impact strategy, new developments and infrastructures design. Today, Kim has joined Arianespace to drive its digital transformation.
Achieving my inner kid’s dream, with my adult’s skillset.
Following the Blueturn project, we co-founded with Jean-Pierre Goux an organization to make people fall in love with Earth by making the overview effect experience available to all. We use data and pictures streamed from NASA’s DSCVR satellite to produce and promote planet Earth’s real videos in different ways, whether it is through videos online, projections, institutional events, conferences, art collaborations or even an online platform to experience it differently. We aim at rising the planetary consciousness and ecological awareness thanks to the beauty of our planet. This project also aims to provide an « almost realtime » window opened on our planet and a vibrant photography of humanity. Our job is to show the real pictures of the Earth to the largest and the most diverse audience possible. Our olanet doesn’t need to be saved, she just needs to be loved. https://www.onehome.org
