Entrepreneurship

My skills range from deep specialization in software engineering (architecture & development), telecommunication (access, core, network) as well as a great capability on R&D and Standardization.

I own expertise in software development, ICT administration, technical writing, Request for Proposal/Information, European project application, conference paper, patent and documentation.

I have experience in Technology Watch & Innovation Strategy as well as Business Transformation and International Business Development (trade mission & foreign investment).

My role scopes from research in large organization, solutions and products development in SME, thru advisor within the government and its digital ICT SME & startup’s ecosystems. I realized technical and business audits for public subsidy as well as private funding.

I’m “multi faced digital technology expert” combined with an “entrepreneur spirit”. I experienced the creation of startups (unified communication, wireless networking and FinTech), the development of the Digital Wallonia ICT strategy for the Walloon Government, the cooperation in the development and the promotion of various protocols and technologies for the Internet.

I’m an analytical problem solver with strong strategic thinking capabilities. I’m highly motivated and self-driven. I have the ability to work independently with minimal supervision as well as a proven team leader with coaching, coordination and supervising skills. I have the ability to work with all levels within the organization. I’m dynamic, creative, pragmatic and stress resistant.

I’m resourceful and able to adapt in constantly changing technical/business environment. I’m eager to learn, willing to invest in continuous learning. I own proven presentation, verbal communication & negotiation skills. I’m always ready for challenges where I can express and extend my skills while sharing my experience.
