He joined Mews Partners in 2012 to develop business expertise on engineering performance and promote advanced design methods. For the past 5 years, he has been supporting industrial players in the space, naval and energy sectors, in the upstream phases of major programmes or on transformation projects related to Lean Engineering and System Engineering.

Connected vehicles and users

In 2018, revenues from automotive services will increase by 30%. Technologies provide increasing connectivity and data management capabilities, enabling new functionalities to be offered to customers (remote maintenance, fleet management, access to contextualized information, autonomous driving, etc.). This revolution forces manufacturers to rethink their business models and develop partnerships with new players (start-ups, telecom players, etc.). We support them in this transformation.

More adaptability for versatile markets

There is no respite for automotive manufacturers: product renewal and evolution cycles are becoming shorter and shorter, markets are moving towards emerging countries where competition is fierce and electrification is progressing. All these changes are reshuffling the cards of an entire ecosystem that has no choice but to transform its production tool and Supply Chain for more flexibility and reconfiguration capacity. Mews Partners helps its clients to build and implement their strategic plans.
