Senior Executive in the Semiconductors and Electronics sectors, with a proven track record in developing successful large businesses both in startups and large multinational corporations
More than 38 years of experience in the Semiconductors, Computer and Electronics industry. Top management experience both at large multinational companies such as STMicroelectronics and in start-ups. Before Cogito, I co-founded 2 companies in Geneva in the Digital TV and in the Semiconductor spaces. Both had successful exits, one went to IPO and the other one was sold to a tech giant. At ST, I was at the origin of several key success stories. In particular, I initiated the business with Nokia in the early 90's. We went from 0 to more than $2B sales in a few years. Then, I led the Digital TV business from a few $M in1997 to more than $1B in 2000. I have experience in leading international teams, in scaling businesses and in delivering innovation.
