About Matthias

An engineer by training, I became interested early on in the possible applications of technology, the problems it can solve, and the win-win business it generates. After several years in electronics, I moved up the value chain to focus on the Internet of Things (IoT), and especially on the use of its data in sectors such as energy (generation, transmission and distribution networks), real estate / smart building & associated services (facility management), healthcare, and industry 4.0. The deployment of innovative digital solutions (including IoT, data, AI, etc.) is essential to help these market segments produce/operate/consume better (more qualitatively, more soberly, etc.). It is here, in the commercial development of these new digital offerings, that I propose to support you.
