Mike B. Email & Phone Number

Mike B. is a Product Architect & Scientist at Apple. Colleagues describe them as " I have worked with Michel Billard on several projects involving electric motor drives and have been amazed at his wide ranging skills and speed of execution from concept to working hardware. Michel is a master of a wide range of engineering skills that include power devices, RF frequency design, analog sensor logic and digital microprocessor controls design. He is also well versed in both high level software coding as well as native low level assembly code. To cover such a range one would normally expect less attention to detail but Michael defies that expectation and all his designs are thoroughly thought out and executed in the highest fashion. He carries his designs from screen to hardware and lays out printed circuit boards with the same exacting precision and thoughtfulness as he applies to the original design. He accomplishes this in a much shorter time than any other engineer that I have worked with. He is also presents an easy going personality which makes him a pleasure to work with. " and "Michel is one of the most incredible engineers I know. He is visionary, passionate and about as hands-on as they come. I've worked with him on 2 silicon valley start-ups, and he has not ceased to amaze me with his depth of knowledge and his passion get things done well ("good enough" is just not part of his vocabulary). He is a very senior executive with a crystal clear vision, inspires confidence in the venture capital world, and people love to work with him. I'm proud to have had the opportunity to know him and continue to work with him. I learn from him daily. I recommend him very highly."
