Director Strategy Business Development Mainstream Innovation @ Dassault Systèmes

About

I help teams turn vision into reality. Building products and services with businesses that matter—from early-stage startups to enterprise platforms serving millions. At SOLIDWORKS, I drive strategy and business development for innovations that help creators, engineers, and problem-solvers bring their ideas to life. What I Do: I translate strategy into execution. Whether it’s launching new products, forging partnerships, or navigating M&A, I focus on what creates real value—for customers, teams, and the business. I’ve been responsible for generating over a hundred of millions USD revenue by staying curious, building trust and failing to learn what actually works. How I Lead: Direct. Kind. Always learning. I believe the best work happens when people bring their whole selves and hold each other accountable. I ask hard questions, have courageous conversations, and build environments where teams can do their best work together. What Drives Me: Building things that last. I’m drawn to work that creates value beyond the immediate transaction. I love connecting with people who are building something meaningful, facing tough challenges, or just want to talk about how teams can work better together. Let’s connect. 📧 Reach out if you want to talk about product strategy, go-to-market, partnerships,and teams that deliver. 🌲 Or if you just want a partner to get outside
