About Me
Chartered Manager (CMgr MCMI), Entrepreneur and Technologist (including PhD). I come from the world of Software Engineering and Data management, then I practiced project management and team management for a while. I now focus mostly on Entrepreneurship, Enterprise Architecture, governance and management in an innovation context.

I am a worldwide person with an appetite for all cultures, all over the globe. Multiple time expatriated, I have links locally, nationally and worldwide. I am a best-practice Management fan, Continuous Professional Development and D.I.Y. enthusiast. I am a Maker, passionate about innovation, communication and more generally: people. Efficient and Effective, I value working smarted over working longer. I am not adept of the "looking busy" movement, I strongly favour the "organised" and "defined" approach to things.
