About me
A French citizen by birth and a world citizen by heart, I have been part of the development of two major and exciting technology adventures, the micro-computing (hardware and software ) Commodore, Apricot, Borland) industry in the 80′s and the Internet (CompuServe, AOL) starting in the mid 90′s) in product marketing executives roles in France, Europe and in the US.
As a consultant in product marketing and innovation, I help enterprises to integrate in their innovation strategy and development, the new digital technologies and specifically those around contactless and the Internet of Things.
Member of the following professional association – FilRFID, CNRFID and ADEN
