About me
I am a software, SaaS, cybersecurity and innovation professional. I have founded and co-founded three companies since the beginning of my career; including the one that has been my main activity since the beginning of 2024: cybersecurity management consultant and ISO 27001 lead auditor.
Outside of my professional activity, I am a keen movie buff, passionate about history and science fiction, driven by an insatiable curiosity, especially for everything related to the world of technology.
In the field of the web, and particularly that of startups, constant questioning is essential. You have to know how to react quickly to the unexpected, whether they are business, technological or regulatory. This requirement has forced me to train myself throughout my career and to surround myself with people who have enriched my professional and personal development.
My background is a unique blend of passion for software development and the web supplemented by qualifications in engineering, business intelligence and marketing. This combination of skills was the key allowing me to progress in the world of the web, to face unforeseen events and to undertake the creation of innovative companies.
