En résumé

Gratuated from a Master degree in Chemistry, I have been involved in the product development project management for eight years through my experiences in both public and private sectors working for CEA, Saint-Gobain’s worldwide company and SINTEF. I really enjoy the responsibility to lead projects starting from the idea to the commercialization. Always attracted by the market, I have also taken advantage working directly with customers having the support of marketing and sales teams.
