Bio

Though I started in a rather different world, with the amazing construction teams of Bouygues Bâtiment, I progressively evolved into more and more mobility and innovation topics, but tried to never forget my “early morning safety boots” experience. I enjoyed 18 years at the amazing street furniture and advertising company JCDecaux, with very exciting challenges. A few examples : • deploying the - then - worldwide reference of bike-sharing Velib, and creating an industry that now helps significantly to keep our planet less warm and our lives more happy • adding passenger and planet-oriented features to bus shelters, such as the green roofs deployed in a large scale in Paris back in 2014, or the public touch screens experimented in 2012 and now deployed by JCDecaux all over the world • without forgetting the simplest but most popular feature of adding USB plugs in bus shelters that I now see in buses everywhere, and the large R&D efforts to mimimize on a yearly basis the electric consumption of street furniture through better design and local power collection. In 2022, I had the chance to cross the curb, and join an outstanding champion of mobility, the Keolis group, as its Innovation and Industrialization Director. In this wonderful position, I have the opportunity with my new team to prepare an innovation roadmap, with the group in countries such as the UK, Dubai, France or Australia, and its stakeholders. It goes from seamless ticketing to autonomous buses, through air quality which is a key issue in so many cities, without forgetting the energy transition for which public transport has a major role to play. Through all of this I will leverage my experience in micromobility that has been my core priority for such a long time.
