About Fabien

Experienced entrepreneur and CTO, a lifelong technophile, I specialize in technology management focused on innovation.
Beyond my experience, what sets me apart is my ability to take on complex, unconventional, and multidisciplinary projects requiring a broad understanding of technologies; to create and develop teams around these challenges.

Technologies
Curious and always attentive to the latest developments, I maintain a comprehensive view of the evolution of technologies, both emerging and established; understanding the state-of-the-art, and identifying opportunities they offer in the short, medium, and long term.
My preferred domain is software, in all its forms.
I have also developed significant expertise in the design and management of physical product development involving electronics and embedded systems.
And I don't hesitate to extend my skills further, for example, into areas like smart textiles or physiology when a project requires it.

Projects / Teams
I have experience managing projects of various sizes and constraints. I favor setting up tailor-made project organizations that adapt to the teams, their environment, objectives, and resources, in order to optimize both team engagement and operational efficiency.
I know how to build, organize, lead, and develop teams with high technological competence and a strong capacity for innovation.

I offer my skills, experience, and expertise according to your needs. I can support you through the different phases of your project, from ideation to operation, including design, development, or industrialization.
My support can also include audits (challenging existing solutions, proposing improvements), CTO/Tech Lead coaching...
