My Background

I began my career as a research engineer at the CEA-Leti (Laboratory for Electronics and Information Technology of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), before joining a start-up where I worked in R&D. I then held a position as Product and Industrialization Manager at Soitec.

In 2015, after 17 years dedicated to technology and innovation, I transitioned to intellectual property law at the firm IP TRUST.
