As such, he’s in charge of developing and rolling out projects that can be considered as “startups within the startup”. With a small team and with a direct reporting to SIGFOX CEO, Ludovic Le Moan, it’s all about being agile and quick on bringing innovation to the market.
His main projects are:
- Sens’it. A small multi sensors SIGFOX Ready device to demonstrate SIGFOX network possibilities.
- SIGFOX Partner Network - A platform to showcase, connect and animate the growing community of IoT Partners around SIGFOX.
