Philippe has enjoyed as much the industrial companies with transformations/evolutions of established business models as new-tech /new-biz that need to be invented from scratch. Triple profile, with business, people and tech acumen. Ability to navigate with serenity in ambiguous and complex environments. Philippe has worked with diverse customers and partners such as Carrefour, Walmart, Facebook, Google, Salesforce, Amazon, AliBaba and marketplaces, Norauto, TireRack, Ogilvy, Mercedes, Porsche, HERE, Mapbox, Arcadis, Departments of Transportation; not directly with Tesla, BYD yet.
