Senior Product Development Manager - Simcenter Amesim Platform

Oct 2021 – Present · 4 yrs 7 mos · Roanne, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

I drive innovation and operational excellence across 5 global teams, leading 50 developers (France, UK, India, Romania) in evolving the foundational Simcenter Amesim platform. With 17 years of experience—a decade as a C++ engineer and 7 in management—I blend technical expertise with leadership to deliver high-quality, sustainable simulation software.
I oversee the full development lifecycle for Simcenter Amesim, encompassing GUI, Kernel, Amesim services (APIs), Interfaces, Simulator, Solver, HPC, and all Pre/Post-processing features. My purview extends from initial specification through to successful deployment, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, sustainable, and maintainable software within a large-scale monolithic architecture. The teams are globally distributed across France, the UK, India, and Romania. I try to unite talent, foster an inclusive and open-minded culture, and manage all aspects of people development – from hiring and staffing to career progression and performance follow-up. I am working on breaking down organizational silos and aligning priorities between development and product management to maximize impact and accelerate delivery.
