HIS CAREER PATH
The founder of LANEGO has more than 30 years of experience in international development within major global industrial groups such as Thales Group and SUEZ, across the strategic sectors of defence and the environment.
Throughout his career, he has led complex international projects involving industrial and institutional partnerships, as well as contracts ranging from several million to several hundred million euros. These responsibilities required operating in demanding technological environments, coordinating industrial actors, public institutions, and international partners.
He spent more than fifteen years as an expatriate in Singapore and Turkey, where he contributed to the development of activities in new international markets, the structuring of local operations, and the management of multicultural teams across diverse economic environments, particularly in Asia and emerging markets.
Today, he remains actively involved in the European innovation and defence ecosystem. He serves as a Business Angel and project instructor within Defence Angels, of which he is one of the early members. This association brings together investors and experts committed to supporting startups and strategic technologies contributing to the development of European and French sovereignty in the defence sector.
The founder of LANEGO also contributes to several European innovation and entrepreneurial mentoring initiatives, notably within programmes supported by Erasmus+, aimed at strengthening the capabilities of entrepreneurs and innovative SMEs at the international level.
LANEGO is also a member of Aerospace Valley, a major European competitiveness cluster in the aerospace, space, and defence sectors, as well as GICAN, the professional organisation representing the naval defence industry and maritime security stakeholders.
These experiences, combining international business development, industrial partnerships, and support for innovative companies, have shaped an approach grounded in rigour, a deep understanding of multicultural environments, and a strategic vision of international development, which today forms the foundation of LANEGO’s expertise.
