TOULOUSE

En résumé

With more than 15 years of professional experience, I have strong expertise in project management. My fields of competence range from software development (with a strong component of human machine interface) to aeronautic engineering (cockpit definition, avionics, maintenance) to customer services.

I am currently responsible of the Innovation and Virtual Reality Department at Diginext.

Resolute, pragmatic and straightforward, I am always up for new missions with challenging objectives!
