👨💻 I work at the intersection of venture capital, company building, and technology strategy across the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Based in Singapore, I enjoy connecting with people who are passionate about what they do and regularly support early-stage technology founders. Please feel free to get in touch or send a deck.
🤖 I believe exceptional companies emerge when scientific ambition is matched by disciplined execution. My work focuses on helping founders bridge that gap, i.e., turning research into products, products into businesses, and businesses into enduring institutions
🚀 Over the past fifteen years, I have held leadership positions in general management, operations, engineering, tech policy, and venture capital. I co-founded two micro-VCs in Luxembourg and Hong Kong, a deep tech venture-building platform in Singapore, and an investment boutique dedicated to deep tech. Today, I serve as Managing Partner at Entropia Capital, following exciting stints at VINCI, BNP Paribas, EDF, Orano, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and research and innovation appointments at UC Berkeley, the National University of Singapore and PSL University. Along the way, I lived and worked in 🇺🇸🇸🇬🇫🇷🇩🇪🇻🇳.
🎓 I hold an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from Centrale Nantes, an MSc in Applied Mathematics from Mines Paris - PSL, and a PhD in Business Administration from Polytechnic Institute of Paris. I also completed executive education programs at Stanford University, the University of Oxford, and INSEAD, focusing on strategy, finance, and philosophy.
📝 I occasionally write about entrepreneurship, technology, finance, and public policy on Substack, Medium and LinkedIn.
P.S. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, endurance sports, and exploring topics ranging from energy and climate to fintech, crypto, and economics.
