Summary
Mechanical & Automation Engineer with a MBA in finances, I started my career in 1981 with
industrial services to run workshops and local companies. Then I joined BBC France in 1987
to lead the local Motors & Drives business.
In 1998 I moved to the ABB Automation Products Division to develop globally the Oil & Gas
and Petrochemical market. In a couple of years I could build a sustainable leading position for
this company in combining global projects pursuit and rolling business.
From this success I pioneered in 2004, the Group Account Management positions for
Engineering & Services companies such as Technip. Then I took the lead of the whole team
of ABB Group Accounts Managers for the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Industry where we
generated significant and profitable growth every year.
January 2012, I created 2B1st Consulting to share my experience and federate the best experts
to help companies to conquest the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical market in a simple way.
