Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I help companies transform ambitious ideas into products that customers buy.

With over 20 years of experience in consumer electronics, connected objects, and home appliances, I work across the entire value chain: product strategy, innovation, UX/UI, industrial design, mobile applications, IoT, AI, industrialization, design-to-cost, ODM/OEM sourcing in China, and market launch.

I have launched over 50 products for international groups such as Acer, Dell, Packard Bell, and Auchan, before creating my own hardware startup, Deglace, which has received six national awards and been featured in Forbes, BFM Business, Les Échos, and Le Parisien.

Whether you are a startup in the acceleration phase or a large group looking to develop a new range, I bring you a 360° vision that secures your projects, reduces development costs, and accelerates their time to market.
