Open to opportunities
With 12 years of experience as an Engineer and Program Manager in the Aerospace, Naval, Nuclear, and Logistics industry, I am currently seeking new opportunities in management and corporate roles. Born and raised in Casablanca, I have always been passionate about exploring different cultures and have travelled extensively. This multicultural background has honed my ability to adapt quickly, a skill that I have consistently demonstrated throughout my career.
My adaptability has been instrumental in successfully managing critical situations and seamlessly transitioning into new environments and industries. I believe in a management style that blends pragmatism with humility and I thrive on taking on ambitious challenges that require dynamism, efficiency, and creativity.
Being open-minded and multilingual (French, English, Spanish, and Arabic), I strongly believe that growth and personal development occur outside of one's comfort zone. This mindset drives me to continuously seek out new experiences and challenges.
I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise to a new organization and I look forward to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

- Renamed in 2017 for its 400th anniversary, Naval Group is the heir of the French arsenals and the Directorate of Naval Construction (DCN). Naval Group is the European leader in defense naval and a major player in renewable marine energies.
Through numerous programs, the group designs, builds, and maintains the most innovative surface naval systems and submarines on the market, as well as their associated critical systems.
Among them, PROSUB (Programa de Submarinos) is a program of great importance implemented in 2008, resulting from a strategic agreement between the Brazilian and French governments. It is the largest program of bilateral cooperation between the two defense ministries and, for Naval Group, the largest export contract in its history, amounting to 6.7 billion euros.
The PROSUB program involves not only the construction, with technology transfer, of four conventional Scorpène-type submarines (S-BR), but also the construction of a new naval base and shipyard located in Itaguaí, in the Sepetiba Bay, west of Rio de Janeiro. In addition, DCNS provides assistance to the Brazilian Navy in the design of its first nuclear attack submarine, as well as the delivery of heavy torpedoes F21.
I joined the PROSUB program in late November 2016, within the Combat System (CS) division based at the Naval Group site in Ollioules. My mission was to set up a team of seven engineers to implement the construction of compliance for the various combat system equipment and to cope with the increase in shipments of these materials to the shipyard in Brazil.
The construction of compliance is a crucial step in the acceptance process by the final customer, the Brazilian Navy. It establishes the functional and material validation of all equipment within the CS scope (tactical weapons, underwater detection, air-surface detection, navigation, radio communication, etc.). - Responsibilities & Key achievements:
