I'm a business leader and entrepreneur building and turning around engineering-intensive businesses. I'm the founder and CEO of Vention, a Manufacturing Automation Platform that democratizes access to industrial automation. Today Vention serves 4,000 manufacturers over 25 industries and 30+ countries.
Before Vention, I spent five years at McKinsey & Company as an Associate Principal with the Operations and Product Development Practices. In this role, I led enterprise-wide strategic, operational, and turnaround programs at global industrial and high-tech companies. Before joining McKinsey, I held various positions in product management, product development, and supply chain at General Electric as part of the Technical Leadership Program.
I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School, and a BA in mechanical engineering from the École de Technologie Supérieure.
