Nantes, Pays de la Loire, France
I am a Vice President of New Business Development with a career built across engineering, R&D, strategy, and international business growth, giving me a holistic understanding of complex industrial and organizational challenges. I began my career as a Mechanical Engineer in the Automotive and Aerospace (Spatial) industries, developing a strong technical foundation that continues to shape my strategic decision-making. I later joined the Oil & Gas sector, where I played a key role in structuring a Corporate R&D organization. Beyond organic growth, I have actively contributed to external growth strategies, leading and supporting multiple M&A transactions across the United States, Asia, and Europe, as well as post-merger integration of international R&D teams. I have managed distributed R&D organizations remotely across Europe, the United States, and China, aligning technical excellence with business objectives. Throughout my career, I have consistently driven people development, convinced that people-oriented leadership and talent empowerment are essential to long-term company sustainability and performance. I have also directly and operationally managed complex international projects, covering the full lifecycle—from customer needs analysis and product development to industrialization and market launch. Today, I leverage this combined expertise in technology, strategy, leadership, and transformation to drive sustainable, ambitious growth across Infrastructure Monitoring, New Energies, and Defense.
