En résumé

At the beginning of my career I spent 8 months in China starting up a hot strip mill, therefore I know very well the commissioning reality. Afterward I have successfully followed over 15 different engineering and commissioning projects as a project manager (up to 12M€ and 20 engineers)

I have used my skills in the following industrial fields:
-Metallurgy
-Food
-Process (chemical and pharmaceutical)
-Water treatment

Since the beginning of 2012 until early 2014 I was working in the pharmaceutical environment, focusing particularly the project management on quality assurance and applicable regulations.

I joined then Ferring pharmaceuticals first as a consultant for 2 years to manage the integration of the serialization program at manufacturing site level, then I moved upward in the organisation now as a solution architect for manufacturing dealing still with the integration of the track and trace a the company level.

Lately I have taken the role of Business Partner focusing on improving the relationship with the Business and the IT services in the Manufacturing area. The idea behind is to help improving the overall service as well as helping the business to reach the right department bridging the gaps.
