I'm an engineer from Arts et Métiers (ENSAM) with a specialism in innovation management, which I deepened with a doctoral thesis at the Ecole des Mines de Paris and then adapted to the challenges of the ecological transition. Here is my career path:
Total E&P: creation of the group's TRL scale and improvement of qualification procedures for new technologies.
Safran: as a CIFRE doctoral student, I was given the task of unblocking innovation trapped in the valley of death between creativity and projects. It worked and so this site is a summary of the thesis manuscript (290 pages all the same!) with the emphasis on practice rather than theory, in other words on the PEPITE method.
GRDF: once a methodology has been developed, there's an irresistible question: does it work in other companies to help them? So I deployed the PEPITE method at GRDF on the subject of Augmented Reality. One disappointing POC after another was costing a lot of money. With the PEPITE method we determined and consolidated the uses and technologies into 4 proposals that the technical and industrial director validated as relevant; but we didn't go through with the method.
Erdyn: organisation, market research, forecasting... the innovation strategy consultancy assignments for SATTs, major companies, start-ups, professional federations... of particular note was the assignment to mediate between academic research and associations, where the two C-Ks approach from the thesis provided a model for collective action for two worlds that are not used to working together at all.
Covid: the consultancy was doing very badly during the pandemic, so I took the opportunity to work on the ecological transition, from CO2eq calculations to ecological continuity and CSR standards. The thesis formalised the emergence of economic exchanges. At the crossroads, I developed an obsession with virtual economic models.
GRTgaz: based on fossil resources and emitting greenhouse gases, the gas industry is a great playground for responsible innovation. I'm delighted to have been entrusted with the structuring of economic models, related calculations, CO2eq calculations and much more by this long-standing client.
Other: I teach at engineering school, I run biodiversity murals, I'm writing a science fiction novella... I try not to rest too much!
