I took an initial “IT Support and Maintenance Manager” associate degree, followed by an undergraduate degree “Corporate Network Administration Manager”, and ended with a “Information Systems Manager” Master. This course of study, which included practical professional experience, enabled me to join SGD Pharma in 2009 where I started as an IT technician to become a network administrator 2 years later. After that, I was able to progress at SGD Pharma until I reached the position of France Industrial IT manager in 2016.
