About me

I spent the first seven years of my career in innovation, developing advanced processes from R&D to industrialisation across France, Germany, and Singapore.

In 2025, I met an exceptional scientific team who had developed patented porous materials enabling the reuse of heat for both heating and cooling applications. Together, we decided to build a venture and embark on a deeptech entrepreneurship journey.
