I am a versatile engineer. I graduated from “Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers” (in the last century!). I have spent most of my career in the automotive industry. At PSA I worked in R&D for chassis, ground links and suspension systems. Mass production engineering is fascinating and requires diabolical rigor: with volume, all the probable events end up happening. You have to be cautious with your designs!

I then joined the innovation department of PSA. I worked on hybrid powertrains and managed the ground links design office. It required more creativity to be close to customer needs so as to create the right offer in terms of performance, price, level of reliability.

Moving on from futuristic vehicle projects, I wanted to be closer to real life constraints. I discovered  a completely different industry and joined civil engineering as head of the Systems Department at Freyssinet, Vinci Group. Freyssinet supplies, integrates and implements components for civil engineering works, stay cables, prestressing cables, seismic equipment, etc… The change has been considerable! Civil engineering is undergoing profound changes, the subjects of innovation are really exciting, but at the end of 2019, I crossed paths with Iguana Yachts.
