About

"Lead in SMEs the transformation of R&D teams facing new challenges" That sums up my enthusiasm in developing complex products. • design a beautiful product, that brings real value, by mastering the complexity of the multiple technical fields implemented • proactively change: start-up scaling up, new regulatory requirements, refocusing on core competences, ... • establish the agility and discipline best suited to overall efficiency • manage people in participative mode, combining empathy and demand • feel daily, in SMEs, the direct impact of individual contribution on business results With a great experience in R&D within large groups as in SMEs, and for the majority in the medical device industry, I developed a particular sensitivity to how to bring a group of indivuals to performance, i.e. a team recognized as competent, fast and competitive, despite the complexity of the technologies used. #researchanddevelopment #transformation #servantleadership #pme #medicaldevices #innovation #projectmanagement
