Time is flying. I’ve been working for twelve years already.

2 years as validation engineer on big telecom system (vodafone, Cegetel, France Telecom)
6 years as Project manager on value added services on Fixed and mobile, multimedias, m-payment (Orange Netherlandse, Upaid, China, India, UK)
2 years as ToIP Presales Director. Working in B2B, setting up technical proposals for key accounts (HSBC, AXA)

Over ten years I moved from 300k€ budget up to 500 Millions euros TCV. From France to China and India among others. From Automation Master to MBA.

What else? Well, aware of the bridges between content and telecoms I decided to focus on music indsutry the same way I did for telecoms industry: who does what, where is the power, where is the value, which innovations are to be studied.

After two years as artist manager and music industry consultant,

I have created a marketing and promotion blog about music and artist: B comme BoxSons

I am managing the Twitter Music Guide. Directory and guide about twitter and music.

I run Net Emergence, musical utopia to promote unknown artist and reach people that don’t try to discover different music.

And some more projects are coming.

Music, content and the web are changing faster than ever. Each day brings its new service, new idea and new innovation. Scary? Yes but also so exciting, surprising and attractive…

I contribute to those changes in a way. And I feel like contributing even more working on project linked to content, web2.0 and social network. Bringing my knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to a sharp, reactive, open-mined and cross cultural company is my next goal. Utopia? I don’t think so.

Net Emergence Kick Off

Done! After weeks of brainstorming and conception, Net Emergence started officially in November.
And Net Emergence has chosen an artist for december : Kronem.

No public vote on Net Emergence. Fans, bands register bands and a jury select one. A talented but unknown artist. It’s that easy.

Who is in the jury? Bloggers, fans, artists, journalists.

How does-it work? Well, all people that registered a band should talk about the selected one. So Net Emergence is everyone. You, me, the artists. Once a month we will try to help the emergence of an artist.
