INSEAD MBA bridging the gap between technical capability and commercial strategy.
In the enterprise technology landscape, value is often lost in translation between R&D and the C-Suite. I specialize in closing that delta. With a background steering global portfolios at Dassault Systèmes and an MBA from INSEAD, I bring the cross-functional fluency required to align product capabilities with P&L objectives.
Convened with C-Suite leadership from TotalEnergies, Carrefour, and Capgemini to address the friction between technical infrastructure and business agility. A closed-door exchange on the governance frameworks required to translate digital capability into sustained commercial value.

This dual exposure, bridging European industrial strategy with American digital scalability, equipped me with a transatlantic perspective on how to drive transformation in global markets.
