Gabriel ETIENNE
TECHNICAL PROJECT LEADER, DELPHI DIESEL SYSTEMS
I come from a very nice county named Lorraine.
I spent all my youth there till the end of "Classes preparatoires", a 2-years intensive programme to prepare the entrance to French Engineering School.
I decided to join Centrale, as it is one of the top school for training generalist engineers.
(For more details, glance at this following website:

I graduated from Centrale in 2006.
After 2 rewarding experiences in nuclear engineering and space engineering company, I decided to join Delphi, a car part manufacturer, in 2006.
To cope with mass production has sparked my interest in automotive company.
Through my experience in product and manufacturing engineering I have acquired a solid industrial background.
Update 2012:
By April 2012, I will hold a position of Technical Project Leader and will be relocated to the UK.
