Résumé
Designing, manufacturing and bringing to market products that improve people’s lives. Generalist Engineer with a passion for innovation methods, product management & execution! Looking for more background? I've got you covered: Looking back, I have realized that my years training as generalist Arts et Métiers Engineer lead me to develop most of the skills I would need to achieve this goal, There, I learned about engineering design and industrialisation in my first years, and I then took on a specialization in Product Development and Innovation Management during my final MSc year. I also realized that there were some blindspots in my training, such as in more management-related disciplines like Economics or Marketing, which are crucial in really understanding the consumer needs. That is why I enrolled into another, more management-oriented MSc in Hong Kong, in one of the best universities in the world. Furthermore, I keep doing everything I can to maintain my knowledge, even in a fast-evolving world: I am subscribed to weekly Innovation Management newsletter to be inspired, keep reading new books on Innovation techniques such as The Lean Startup or Design Thinking, go to innovation-themed talks or conferences, and participate in Hackathons or Ideation events to keep practicing those skills whenever I can. Through my rich professional experience for somebody my age, I have already had the opportunity to practice my skills in real-world situations and develop my own techniques that have helped improving my productivity and keeping a clear eye on the project I'm working on, helping the team I'm working with to stay focused.
