Contact me
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.

  • In 2012, Airbus Helicopters faced several challenges. They had to maintain the production capacity of their current range of helicopters while also completing the development of their new heavy-lift helicopter, the H175, preparing it for market launch, and starting its serial production. Additionally, they had to initiate the launch of several new helicopter programs to replace a significant portion of their current range.

    It was in this context that I joined the Flight Test Department at Airbus Helicopters, with the mission to oversee activities related to the H175. My main focuses were Flight Performance and Weight & Balance. From the moment I arrived, a few months before the first flight, I was involved in various tasks, both technical and managerial.

  • Novotech is an American manufacturer of infrared optical systems, semiconductor materials, and services. The infrared division is located in Acton, in the Boston, Massachusetts region, while the semiconductor division operates in Lakeside, Arizona.

    Germanium is a semiconductor metalloid that is used in certain complex optical systems due to its infrared transparency. In the 1980s, germanium was considered one of the eight essential strategic raw materials. Its applications are mainly found in the defense sector (detection, night vision, weaponry).

    Novotech holds a competitive position in the market, which is explained by its mastery of the entire value chain associated with the product: processing of raw materials at the base of Germanium (refined zinc and coal ash), machining, polishing, recycling, testing, and sales.

    This internship, which lasted for one month in a completely English-speaking environment, allowed me to work as an operator in each link of the value chain: working on machine tools, precision machining, product testing and qualification. It also allowed me to better understand the world of manufacturing and the production of high-value-added parts.
