About Thomas
French citizen, entrepreneur at the intersection of business, technology and VCs with experiences in Europe, China, USA and Australia.
I started working as a sales executive of a 48-person department in engineering consulting in France and co-lead three 30+ million euros call for tenders for Airbus. I then gathered a team and founded a startup in the energy industry to bring closer the academic research and SMEs R&D activities.
While in Sydney I also had the opportunity to work as an independent sales representative for a French energy company and independent power producer aiming at extending their offer in Australia.
My experience in sales prepared for me for this client-oriented role while my founder position brought out that leadership, problem-solving, adapting to new situations while maintaining the big picture are what I enjoy doing. As an engineer by training I am at the intersection of business and technology.
