About Jean
I’m a Senior Project Manager and Mechanical Engineer with over 20 years of experience leading complex vehicle and system development projects for OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. I specialize in coordinating multidisciplinary teams, managing risks, and ensuring on-time, high-quality project delivery — from initial planning to validation and launch.
With a background at AVL (Austria) and Renault (Brazil), I’ve worked across Europe and South America in areas such as powertrain systems, system integration, and technical documentation.
I’m fluent in English, German, French, and Portuguese, and bring a structured, international approach to technical project management, making complex engineering processes easier to execute and communicate.
