En résumé

I spent a large amount of my career managing infrastructure with a 6 years’ parenthesis managing web development (doing DevOps before the word exists). I really like technologies and the way to articulate them to maximize the value.

In my leader role, I focus on talent management and feel accountable for the planning and execution of IT vision. I never hesitated to relocate and embrace new culture, also to get efficiency in my influencing role. I worked with people from all over the world. Now based in France, I lived 3 years in the UK, 1 year in Belgium and 3 years in Sweden.

I consider us (the IT guys) lucky to work in such an area where we can have all this fun.
