French by birth and pioneer by adoption, I have honed my innovator’s skills in the technological and social fields. My guiding principle: designing the most exciting environment so anyone could have a massive impact with his/her ideas.

Holder of a master's degree in mechanics and microtechnologies from the ENSMM, I began my professional career as a weapon system officer on fighter planes in the French Air Force for 4 years. In 2012, I joined Switzerland to start my innovator career.

After obtaining my Executive MBA in Management of Technology and Innovation from the EPFL, a certification of "Doing Business in China" from Peking University, and a certificate in Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Stanford University, I became the LEMO Group's Innovation Manager in 2014. In less than 4 years, I managed to set up an innovation ecosystem allowing the LEMO group to be internationally recognized for its innovation capably, notably by winning an innovation prize in 2017 against Pepsi and Philips.

Specialized for 8 years in the implementation of innovation systems for companies, my time is currently spread between my position as head of innovation at La Ruche tl (the innovation platform of the public transportation of Lausanne) and my freelance activities.
