He applies his insights and know-how across innovation management, venturing, emerging technologies, digital strategy and transformation to position them at the forefront of the energy transition.

How Thierry is building a better working world

“I am passionate about helping clients in traditional or carbon-intensive industries find more innovative, sustainable approaches that move them toward decarbonization.

I work with companies to co-create these technologies and put them into practice, with a focus on execution — at EY, we call it the Innovation Realized approach.

For me, emerging technologies are like a sixth sense that can help human beings become more effective and more accurate — not replace them.”
