I am responsible for leading the strategic relationship with the Orange group globally for Riverbed. As part of this role, I support Orange in defining its solutions strategy and collaborating with them to deliver innovative IT solutions improving performance, visibility and security.I bring over 30 years’ experience leading international teams across Riverbed, Promethean, Cisco, Oracle and Sun Microsystems. I have a background in business, having completed an MBA in International Finance & Marketing from Thunderbird AZ and Sup de Co Clermont and a graduate in business law from Paris Pantheon Sorbonne. I believe success comes from understanding the global business environment from both a technical and business standpoint. I pride myself in strong management skills and the ability to drive and close complex negotiations. My aim is always to build a collaborative, high performing team, fuelled by positive energy. Travel is my passion and I’m fortunate to have travelled extensively, both personally and professionally throughout my career. I’m grateful for these opportunities and hope to visit South America next! I’m based in Paris and am a keen skier and like to get to the Alps with my family whenever I can.
