Mechanical engineer and founder of three bicycle companies. Twenty years turning needs into manufactured products by choosing and managing the factories.
I have had carbon frames, wheels, complete bikes and circuit boards made in China, Italy, Poland and France. I know what a factory can deliver and what must be locked down before placing an order.
I have run my own companies, up to 12 employees and €3M in revenue. I think in unit cost, cash flow and lead times, not only in technical specs.
Design, supplier selection, negotiation, prototypes, tooling, production, supply: I have handled every step myself.
I work on my own, from Gap in the French Alps, and travel to manufacturers when the project requires it. You always know who is doing the work.
