BORDEAUX

En résumé

My entire carrier was done around Composite parts.
I started in France in 95 as Production (Operations) manager for road cars bodywork parts using RTM technology. Then I moved to a R&D and program manager position within the same company, Sotira.
I moved to England (British American Racing) then Italy (Ferrari) to achieve my dream, i.e. Formula one Composites structural prepreg parts.
After nearly 10 years and 5 F1 constructor World titles, I decided to face a new challenge. So I came back to France to work on Airbus A350 XWB -900 composite fuselage. I started on the nose with Latécoère (Section 12 and lower unit), then on Section 15 as the Engineering manager for Spirit Aerosystems. I was part of the Spirit France creation as the first Spirit France employee and created the Toulouse team. I consider that we succeeded with the delivery of the first A350-900 Section 15 MSNs to Airbus. I felt ready to face a new exciting challenge.
I so decided to join Infosys in March 2013 to develop the Engineering Aerospace business in Europe. That was mainly a commercial job.

After my wife loss, I rebuilt myself end of 2015 and felt ready to face a new challenge.

So in July 2016, I left Toulouse and joint Stelia Composites, subsidiary of Airbus Group, near Bordeaux, as technical manager.
