My first steps in the world of waste
Sales engineer for SARP Industries
I was initially hired to support the development department, but soon was entrusted with the client portfolio in Auvergne and Burgundy.
I enjoy looking for environmentally relevant solutions for my customers and creating synergies between the different branches of the group (SARP Industries multi-site offers).
Thanks to my dual master’s degree in chemistry and business I’m able to quickly understand the issues faced by my customers, as well as my fellow operators.
The Swiss adventure begins
Sales manager and member of the Executive Board of SOVAG
I’m discovering a new culture, and my job is taking on a more international dimension. For the first time, I’m confronted with exporting waste to salt mines in Germany, but also to recycling centres in Europe (first collaboration with FOEN).
There’s just one challenge: the ongoing search for new disposal technologies!
Restructuring and ensuring the long-term future of industrial waste treatment and consolidation sites in Switzerland
Sovalos project manager, site manager and member of the Executive Board of SOVAG
How to remain competitive and innovative in an increasingly competitive sector? What support to provide, and what skills can be transferred by integrating a Swiss SME into one of France’s leading waste management groups?
Does the pre-treatment and treatment of hazardous waste have a future in Switzerland, given the tonnages exported and treated abroad?
These and other questions were decisive in the Sovalos project and the creation of an integrated platform on the Valorec site in Basel.
Motivating the teams, listening to them, and training them in new working methods: the daily routine of the project.
The confirming years
Opening of SOVAG Basel, LEAN Manager Training
Opposition in Basel delays the project, but we were able to put forward the right arguments to get the site up and running.
Convinced that the future of our business lies in standardising processes and methods and establishing a real safety culture, I’m starting to retrain and specialising in Lean Management.
Experience at FOEN and ASi-VBSA
Two very rewarding experiences. The opportunity to better understand what is really at stake when waste is imported or exported. The addition of an extra skill to my arsenal: safety at work for industrialists in the world of waste.
