Summary
I'm an innovative and results oriented Engineering leader with 20+ years of developing mission critical softwares. Here my leadership principles: Be humble: I will always eat last. All the credits go to people, the blames go to me. Trust: I'm not micro-managing. People know better than me how to do the job. Team spirit: People are not working for me, people are working with me. It is a collective "we". Inspire: I'm responsible of people and people are responsible of doing the job. Freedom: empowerment so people feel responsible for their actions. Tolerance : there are no bad decisions, there are just lesson learns. Transparency: people are always informed and know what I'm thinking. I've co-founded mnubo in 2012, a startup providing AI and Analytics solutions to the Internet-of-Things manufacturers. I have been leading the R&D organization for 7 years as the CTO. I spent my energy in assembling and leading a talented team of cloud and AI experts who built from the ground up an AI cloud based platform. Mnubo got acquired in July 2019 for 102M$ CAD ( https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-us-software-firm-aspen-technology-buys-montreal-startup-mnubo-for/). I qualify myself as an entrepreneur, strong leader, rigorous, team worker, open-minded, flexible and autonomous with strong communication skills and out of the box thinking. I've been working in both Europe and North America within large and small companies. Specialities: o Built several teams of high talented software engineers. Built strong team culture making everyone strengths effective and weaknesses irrelevant. o Continually looking for ways to improve engineering processes and efficiency. o Implemented the culture and infrastructure to enable continuous delivery using automation everywhere it is possible. o Strong technical experience designing high available and distributed software with high velocity data ingestion pipeline.
