En résumé

On top of my initial background in Electronics Engineering, I have developed strong skills in operational excellence, change management and costs reduction initiatives. I spent over 20 years in Automotive & Medical Devices industries. I held several positions in R&D and Operations always focused on continuous improvement and process/products improvements. My next position must be a role where I can leverage all these skills in a company developing products with a very high technology content. I’m passionate about transforming early stage brilliant ideas and products in scalable industrial products for sale.
