Growing up across France, Australia, and Canada gave me a taste for being a Frenchman abroad. After several years in Dubai and having called Detroit, Mexico, Spain, and Brazil home, I settled in the Netherlands in 2019.

These experiences fueled my drive to connect people and ideas across cultures, and build the trust needed to make things happen internationally.

International growth has been my guiding star throughout my career: bridging commercial strategy and operations, from shaping expansion strategies with founders and getting the first deals across the finish line, to building the teams and systems needed to scale service delivery.

Whether driving business development initiatives for complex systems in Europe and the Middle East, or building a network of 200+ partners across 185 countries, I've worked at the intersection of commercial opportunity and operational execution.

I combine a deep understanding of defence technology with experience in high-growth environments, having navigated capital raises, post-merger integrations, and rapid organisational growth.

Today, my focus is on taking cutting-edge drone technology to market and contributing to a stronger Europe through better interoperability of unmanned systems.

Alongside my operating roles, I've kept a foot in entrepreneurial territory through MBI Consulting, advising ventures on international growth and developing business plans for science-based projects spanning health tech, machine learning, and aerospace.

I'm particularly drawn to companies at the intersection of technology, geopolitics, and industrial ambition, particularly those contributing to a stronger and more sovereign Europe.

Name a country, and I've likely negotiated there, resolved a dispute, or celebrated a partner's success.

Curiosity didn't kill the cat. It took me to more than a few countries.
