As an engineer by training, I have over 9 years of experience in Lean and operational excellence, acquired in France in industrial, IT, and service environments (Airbus, Thales, EDF, SPIE).
Throughout my career, I have supported production lines and operational teams in improving their performance and reducing costs by conducting field diagnostics, structuring and deploying Lean approaches, and managing transformation projects.
