Denis Pierrot

Graduated from the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (Paris) in 1988 with a MS degree in Computer Science and minor in Artificial Intelligence from Université Paris IV, I started to work as a software development consultant in Marben, Lyon, France. After a few years, I joined the telecom software division of Hewlett-Packard as a software developer in 1991 and then evolved to designer and architect in 1994. After 6 month in HP Labs in Palo Alto (California), I came back to France in a technical leader position in 1997. I became project manager in 1996 leading a team of 10 developers. Then I became release manager, coordinating large software developments with multicultural teams worldwide. I joined the EMEA regional office to handle telecom solutions delivery customer projects in 2000. Since then, I have been involved in software telecom projects in the space of VPN, prepaid billing, VoIP, Push-to-talk, and messaging solutions (NGVM). Currently I have the role of domain leader in the telecom 3G video solutions space, promoting our solutions portfolio and managing solutions delivery projects in large telecom accounts worlwide.
