Coo & Co Founder
Simplysim
SimplySim SAS was created in April 2008 in Sophia Antipolis (France). The company goal is to create the software that will enable any software developer to easily use real time 3D technology in his applications. SimplySim is developing the SimplyCube, which is both a simulation engine and a set of 3D editors. Based on this product we developed solutions in 3D real time simulation, virtual reality, serious games and visualization. In April 2011 SimplySim was integrated into the Optis Group. As the COO: I participated to the company strategy : from definition of business model, presentation of the company to investors, up to buy-out negociations. I gathered public fundings, partnerships and support that were key to the development of the company : Concours Jeunes Pousses, Incubateur PACA Est, Concours National du Ministère de la Recherche, Oséo, Réseau Entreprendre PACA...I worked on international sales contacts, with demanding customers such as Microsoft Corp or Orange Labs Japan. My work covered the full customer relationship : from the first early contact and signs of interest, to the definition of the customer needs in a specification, the closing negotiations, and the project follow up. I worked on the marketing strategy, product management, B2B partnerships (Microsoft France, Technology Clusters) and communication of the company (including participation to B2B tradeshows : Imagina, Laval Virtual, Eurosatory, Robobusiness, Microsoft PDC, TechED, TechDays).I participated to the management of the team (up to 10 people). I participated to the day to day administrative duty of the company.
