Director Information Technology, Head of Information Technology Advanced Analytics

UCB Pharma, a biopharmaceutical and specialty chemical company, develops therapeutics for central nervous system and immunological diseases.

I am passionate about using analytics to improve people's lives. I studied mathematics and economics, had a short experience in a bank, then worked for six years in a pluri-disciplinary research team in the food industry. Since 2015 I work at UCB, a medium-sized pharma company focused on neurological and auto-immune diseases. Skills: Analytic Software creation I designed and implemented dozens of custom web applications aimed at putting advanced analytics techniques into the hands of subject matter experts. Statistics, machine learning and data visualization I have experience with a wide variety of supervised and unsupervised models, including regression, bayesian hierarchical, tree- and ensemble-based machine learning and time series. Thought leadership I like to explain complex new methodologies and technologies in simple terms and suggest new applications. I have experience in coaching colleagues, hosting workshops and writing white papers. Teaming (as defined here: http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/the-importance-of-teaming) I love to work in agile, multi-disciplinary teams and have experience in organizing collaborations with academic researchers, startups, consultants and senior stakeholders.
