About Christophe

Objective: Industrialization & Productivity

Accustomed to demanding industrial environments, I manage cross-functional projects with significant cost, quality, and deadline stakes, in close collaboration with R&D, production, supply chain, purchasing, and supplier teams.

I also address factory performance issues: productivity, flow optimization, cost reduction, and resource rationalization.
