I have an engineering background, graduating from Ecole Centrale de Paris in 1983. I started off as a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, USA, in 1984, then worked as a computer engineer at ADP/GSI. I went on to work for IBM and Microsoft where I held engineering and sales positions until 1995. Fascinated by the IT sector, I co-founded IT Asset Management, contributing my extensive hands-on expertise and vision of the industry. I participated in the writing of a book (only available in French) explaining how different fund managers build and manage their equity portfolio: "Les méthodes de 7 grands gestionnaires pour choisir ses actions" (édition Côté Finances).
