Philippe begins his career as an entrepreneur, while still a PhD student in the IBM Research Centre in La Gaude (France). His career quickly evolves from independent software developer to CEO of a group of companies backed by venture capital.
After a period as Director of Business Unit for the Sagem Group, Philippe is hired by Apple to manage the " Communication Products and Technologies " group in Cupertino (CA), and supervise the European R&D Centre, at the return of Steve Jobs.
Recruited by Sony, Philippe returns to Europe to launch Vaio PCs, relaunch direct sales (Sony Style), launch the robot-dog Aibo, and stimulate new projects. Before dedicating all of his time to speaking and consulting, Philippe accepts the position of Chief Technical Officer of Neopost Group, supervising more than 1100 employees and consultants spread over more than 20 locations across the world (from Brisbane, Australia to Seattle, WA). During his tenure he also founds and manages Neopost Labs, the arm of the Neopost Group's internal innovation and open innovation.
Mentor and advisor to a few thoughtfully selected startups, Philippe is also a partner in Senseii Ventures, a seed stage venture capital fund started and owned by 20 entrepreneurs. In both ventures, his combined knowledge of the ecosystem of startups and that of the corporate world is one of his most formidable assets.
With a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Université de Nice-Sophia Antipolis (France) and animated by his passion for sharing, Philippe intervenes at HEC and contributes to the jury of Wilco (ex-Scientipôle Initiative), granting loans to startup founders.
An enthusiastic member of the Ligue des Optimistes de France (League of Optimists), he shares his optimism and passion for innovation through his interventions with companies all over the globe.
Currently, Philippe is the President of the French Professional Speakers Association (AFCP) for the 2020-2021 mandate.
