About / A Propos de...

I am French, working a little bit everywhere throughout Europe for the EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) industry.

Flextronics, Hon Hai (aka Foxconn), Sanmina-SCI, Jabil and Celestica are the companies that top this world.
All 7 bUSD+ companies, consistently churning products out of an array of manufacturing sites. Some small, almost mom-and-pop sites up to the largest factories on Earth.
24/7 operations, making all electronics you see or you don't see but that your lifestyle...or life might depend on. Controls for power grids. The servers, routers, switches of the internet and company networks. The electronics in boats, cars, planes, telecommunication networks, hospitals...maybe your PC and your mobile phone...

I held here various roles in Strategic Purchasing, Commodity Management, Best Practices for Supply Chain, Global Account Management, Program Management...strong focus on Suppliers, and strong focus on Customers.

I work in this industry for about 10 years, of which 5 in international assignments after starting my career in Aeronautics. Major change !
