About
I run product where hardware, platform and software meet — the places where a decision has to survive a factory, a network and a customer at the same time.
Career arc
I started close to devices: content and first-run software preinstalled on Sony Xperia phones, rolled out globally — where the launch date is set by a factory, not a sprint board.
From there I moved into industrial connected products — GPS-free geolocation from a radio-footprint algorithm, then a Wi-Fi Atlas offer for logistic sites — running discovery with supply-chain buyers rather than only in a conference room.
Then platform and go-to-market: Head of Product Marketing for a sovereign artificial-intelligence platform — honestly, with no product deals in that tenure — and now Lead Product Manager on a European cloud suite (logs, identity, security).
The thread is the same throughout: make a technical platform legible, and make a small team fast.
Product builder
I don’t stop at slide decks. EcoScan is my own product: it scores environmental impact from invoices for small businesses, from a product brief to a live app. It keeps me honest about how long “just one more field” actually takes.
At OVHcloud I prototype with the team: a modern logs experience and an AI assistant that turns ordinary questions into Lucene search queries. See the OVHcloud teaser on Work.
How I operate
Write the decision down, not the debate
One page per irreversible call: what we chose, what we gave up, and what would make us revisit it. It ends the same argument happening quarterly.
Ship the narrowest version that can be wrong
A pilot with a handful of sites and one metric beats a platform with none. If it cannot fail visibly, it will not teach us anything.
Sit where the product is used
First-run setup screens, warehouse aisles, on-call rotations. Two days in the field reorders a roadmap more than a quarter of survey data.
Expand the jargon
Out-of-the-box experience, service-level objective, pay-as-you-grow. If a stakeholder cannot repeat the sentence, they cannot fund it.
Protect the engineers' week
One planning ritual, one interrupt channel, one owner per surface. Focus is an artefact of structure, not of encouragement.
Player-coach
I lead small squads — typically product managers, product owners and a designer — and I stay close enough to the artefacts to write specifications, cut scope live, and prototype when the team needs a spike. I am a first-line manager, not a manager of managers.
Formal reports across three employers: at Sigfox, two product managers and a designer (I hired one of the PMs; the product owner was a peer). At OVHcloud, one product manager and two product owners, plus a PO I mentor. At Allonia, a marketing manager, and I mentored a PM.
I hire for judgement under ambiguity, coach through written feedback on real decisions, and hand a surface over completely once someone owns it.
The filter
I choose work where European data sovereignty, sustainability and fair governance are constraints the product actually respects.
I would rather build a product on open software we can operate, or contribute directly to an open-source project. I also trust open-data initiatives.
I would rather build (or contribute to) open-source software or open-data initiatives, as they embody freedom, collaboration, and transparency ideals important to me.
