I'm a highly versatile engineering director, combining broad technical knowledge with department management, and project management skills developped throughout my experience. This unique combination of all aspects of business gives an edge in solving complex business or organizational challenges, without departemental bias. The ability of support peers and team members into a productive thinking process and quality decision making is a key addition to bring the company to success.
I head our worldwide multifunctional engineering department, researching new technologies and selecting the ones to invest on in order to keep our competitive edge. Our mechanical, system, electrical and optical engineering teams develop highly complex visual display solutions, both for new product launch and for customized customer projects. As engineering is at the core of our business, keeping and strategically growing these skills and capabilities is an essential part to server an increasingly more demanding market. This happens while tracking investments from budgeting phase to product launch to ensure business profitability.
I take responsibility of the project from the moment we get the order, till it is installed and accepted by the customer. The worldwide aspect of our projects allows to build up skills on communication with different work cultures, while managing and keeping under control all challenges. The variety of projects budget (100k€ to 5M€), duration (6mo to 5y) and complexity implies a high flexibility on project management style, from simple supervision to full blown aerospace quality processes.

I design Analogue circuit for chips mainly in the Automotive market. I am therefore able to produce High Voltage systems meeting the most difficult quality requirements. The developed design are able to withstand all requirement of this this harsh environment, including Electro Static Discharge and Electro-Magnetic Compatibility tests. My fast learning curve has been demonstrated, getting quickly a deep understanding of the complex High Voltage technologies.
