Back to original languageAbout Gaetan
Passionate about tech and decarbonization, I help energy players bring their innovation projects to life. My goal: to bridge the gap between business vision and IT teams to deliver solutions that have a real impact.
My experience at EDF (nuclear), Enedis (smart grids), and GRDF (biomethane) has given me a 360° view of the sector's challenges. I am as comfortable with the strategic issues of management as with the technical constraints of an Agile development team (SAFe).
What I do concretely:
▶︎ Manage complex projects and portfolios: From roadmap to production, I structure, coordinate, and ensure projects progress, managing teams and budgets.
▶︎ Bridge the gap between Business and IT: I translate the needs of one for the other, I facilitate communication, and I ensure everyone is looking in the same direction to develop the right products.
▶︎ Launch innovations (Go-to-Market): I help technology companies enter the market. For example, I am assisting Anessa, a Canadian leader in biogas software, in structuring its presence in France and Germany.
And now?
Beyond my consulting missions with SENESY, I am looking to get involved in creating new products or services for the sector. I am convinced that collaboration is key.
Are you developing a technology and looking to accelerate your entry into the energy market?
Do you have an idea and are looking for a partner to structure and launch it?
