UPDATE: As of September 2018, I have moved to IMD, where I teach strategy. Find out more here.

I’m an associate vice provost at Rice University, where I teach strategic thinking in the engineering school.

I trained as a mechanical engineer, first in France, then at Rice. Then I went into strategy consulting with Accenture before returning to academia at the University of Monterrey—to teach engineering and business and serve as their graduate dean. Later I had a stint as a sustainability consultant and an entrepreneur (our start up failed), and since 2011 I’m back at Rice.

If I’m not solving problems, I’m usually training for one tri (or another) or playing in Kirby-sur-Seine.
