During those great 14 years, I have transitioned from a pure technical to a business and management role (Technical Marketing Engineer, Technical Marketing manager, Marketing and Application laboratory manager and finally Business Unit Director).First activity consisted in defining and launching a new product line for, at that time, emerging color monitor market. Then, I have enlarged my scope of activity by embarking on new emerging product lines for flat panel technologies. Ultimately, I had the full P/L responsibility for my Business Unit and was directly in charge of: Product and go-to-market strategy, product roadmap, R&D, customer satisfaction (quality, Service, Technical performances)

I started the 9 first years of my professional life as an analog IC designer and became later Design leader and project manager for Mixed Signal chip design. During this designer phase I have worked on many type of chips such as: Color decoding for analog TV, Interface chips for CCD camera, Intermediate-frequency sound-demodulator for TV, High-Voltage video amplifiers (250V), Clock generator chips, VCR signal processing chips, Multi-frequency deflection processor for advanced TV.I hold over 10 patents and participated and presented paper to IEE conferences.This first very technical path was a crucial help for later embarking in my Business, Marketing and Operation roles.
