Etienne is an engineer with a passion for new technologies and the development of innovative products in an industrial environment. He obtained his engineering degree in Industrial Engineering from the École Polytechnique de l’Université d’Angers, with an option focusing on innovation systems. During his studies, he acquired a wide range of knowledge, covering computer science, electronic, mechanical and logistics engineering, as well as methods for managing complex projects and innovation management.
Etienne has diversified his experience across several sectors. He started out as a mechanical engineer at Decathlon, then worked in innovation funding and European R&D project management at the EMC2 cluster. This experience enabled him to develop a network of economic and technical knowledge in the fields of industrial manufacturing, particularly in the aerospace, defence and naval sectors. He also piloted the implementation of an Open Innovation method in healthcare for an insurance group (Macif), and coordinated supply chain activities at Airbus Canada as ACJ Programme PMO.
Today, at Innovitech, Etienne has had the opportunity to work with the CRIAQ, supervising special projects and coordinating missions with European partners. His varied experience enables him to put his expertise to good use and contribute effectively to innovation and the management of industrial projects.
