Are you managing a critical industrial project — complex system, tight deadlines, high business stakes — and need an expert who can bridge the gap from strategic framing to on-the-ground execution? That's exactly what I do.
With a PhD in Systems Engineering and INCOSE CSEP certification, I provide strategic consulting and operational leadership for industrial and technological leaders who cannot afford to fail.
🏆 Concrete proof of my value:
I led the end-to-end development of the Picosun/Applied Materials SPRINTER, a 300mm equipment for the semiconductor industry — from a blank sheet to global customer deployment:
→ +30% revenue in the first year
→ Key outcome in the acquisition of Picosun by Applied Materials
→ Co-author of patent · SEMI S2/S8 compliant
I also implemented Systems Engineering at Novo Nordisk Global Intralogistics, structuring development processes for critical industrial systems on an international scale.
🛠 My areas of expertise
- Product & System Strategy Consulting: architecture, roadmap, make-or-buy, governance
- Complex R&D Program Management: from specification to customer deployment
- Systems Engineering Implementation (MBSE, INCOSE, lifecycle)
