First and foremost, Philippe knows the Telecommunication Business extremely well, his background is mostly in OSS, but over the years he has acquired a very well rounded knowledge in a number of business segments. Over the years, Philippe has held a number of different positions which have exposed him to most significant aspects of running a business: product management, delivery management, R&D, technical presales, outsourcing, P&L management. His varied career makes him a good candidate for a GM type of position. In recent years, he has managed a set of technology centers in various locations (India, China, Romania) which have been successfully used by the HPE Communication and Media Solutions business to accelerate the business results of the organization. In his last role, Philippe has been a reliable and effective business partner, who has been able to propose a set of flexible and creative options to leverage the technology centers. Philippe would be an asset for any organization who is setting up or restructuring off-shore / best-shore centers to accelerate their business results for profitability or growth." and "I have known Philippe for more than 20 years. Philippe led OSS portfolio for DEC, Compaq and then HPE. He brings a lot of technical depth and understanding of developing a new solution/product with reliability and scalability demanded by Telecom service providers. For last 7-8 years, Philippe has managed region business and led Global Delivery Centers for HPE. I had an opportunity to work more closely with Philippe when he was leading overall business in Asia Pacific countries. Philippe is very detail oriented and demonstrated extremely good handle on the business. Philippe's product development skills helped him in improving our delivery discipline. One of Philippe's strengths is negotiating difficult contracts. Philippe's technical skills help him build trust with customers easily. Philippe quickly adjusted to diverse culture in the region and demonstrated that he was a great people manager. I would not hesitate to recommend Philippe to anyone looking for a detail oriented, trusted and technical people leader with strong business acumen. I personally would love to work with Philippe again."
