For years I have been working on technologies and products, at the forefront of new trends and/or technological innovation:

• First mobile email (2001))
• Prototype of a guidance system for the blind in Paris metro
• First video sharing mobile application for SFR and Dailymotion (2007)
• First iPhone multi-modal itinerary calculator (2008) (won a prize in the 3GSMWorld)
• Driving strategy optimizer for the train industry (currently saving 10% of energy on all French trains).
• and many other...

I have worked across many industries: Finance, Banking, Media, Transport, Telecom, etc.

With this experience I can assist businesses elaborate innovation strategies, new products, develop new technologies. But, to be an effective innovation consultant, it is not enough to keep an eye on emerging trends in business, technology, or the economy. Hands-on experience is essential. Throughout my career, even in management and CTO roles, I have always stayed close to the code — sometimes with both hands in, sometimes with just a few fingers, but never entirely stepping away from it.

So I am backing up my experience with Active Technological Watch. As I am analyzing new tech trends, and their potential economical impact, I am building prototypes of products, experimenting by coding my new ideas, etc. I am also participating to some other teams efforts, helping them with prototyping, feasibility, etc. The permanent dialog between analysis and hands on practice is the basis of my efficiency.

The new revolution is developing, triggered by AI and Blockchain. I have developed a vision of what this means in terms of transformation of business practices, business relations, and derived a program of experiment. Read more in the A vision section.
