About
I discovered computers at the age of ten and have been passionate about communication technologies and computer science ever since. I hold a Master’s degree in Mobile Technologies and Embedded Systems from the University of Technology of Troyes (UTT), France, and I live in Luxembourg City.
My first steps in professional telecommunications were testing the open-source Asterisk platform in an industrial IT environment, then testing set-top boxes for cable and satellite television in Munich. I then worked as a consultant for an ICT company in Luxembourg, on European-funded projects in the fields of human–computer interaction and health systems.
Since 2013, I have worked in presales: first at Unify and Damovo on communication and network solutions, then as a Senior Sales Engineer at Extreme Networks, and today as Network, Security, Connectivity & Systems Presales Manager at Telkea Group. I see my role as the pivot of the company’s know-how: our solutions require deep technical knowledge as well as people and writing skills, and bringing them together is what drives sales.
