Profile
With an initialPh.D. in physics specialized in signal processing, I have followed a continuous progression from scientific project management to market introduction of services and products including management of multidisciplinary and multicultural teams.
After working for 5 years at Matra Communication in speech processing, I have spent more than 6 years in USA. In particular, I have been an active member in the development of ViaVoice software at the T.J.WatsonResearchCenter. Since two years, I am working in Switzerland as Bioinformatics department manager and more recently I also took the responsibility of the instrumentation at Manteia, start-up and spin off of Serono.
Following the Mastering Technology Enterprise program of IMD at Lausanne, I am ready to play a leading role in the development of high technology products, preferably in an innovative company with an international environment.
