Innovation management

Résumé

"Helping employees to turn their ideas into businesses."

My passion for Innovation and Technology led me to explore the business and marketing side of projects which I enjoy very much. Consequently, I've been contributing to the marketing success of the winners of the latest ideation events within Gemalto (Hackathon 2015 & 2014, BIG Ideas Challenge 2014 & 2013 and 4 other local ideation events).

Also, my experience in 6 different countries and my interpersonal skills allow me to adapt quickly while having a global perspective.

Soft skills: Analytical and yet creative problem solver, good team player, optimist & empathic. I love learning!

Start a company in 54 hours!

Startup Weekends are worldwide events which bring professionals with a variety of backgrounds together to start a company. During the 54 hours that they have, participants pitch ideas, form teams, and work hard to make their ideas a reality.

As an organizer I keep learning about:
