Passionate about international trade, I like conquering new markets, and opening new horizons, develop networks and deploy with method and rigor market penetration strategies allowing a successful development while mastering risk management (KPI,...)I worked for two multinational companies in the fields of defence and environment. I like managing multifunctional negotiation teams for complex B2B or B2G sales involving strategic partnerships either at industrial levels (JV,...) or government level also, for professional electronic equipment and systems worth a few millions to hundred millions euros contracts, or for PPP projects in the fields of water or waste.I was expatriated for 15 years in Singapore and Turkey where I was in charge of creating local facilities, managing and developing multicultural teams in very different environments (India, China, Singapore, Turkey, Australia, ...). I learnt from them the strength of resilience, and got stronger thanks to the lessons learnt from their culture.
