Yann GILBERT
Technical R&D Coordinator & SAP PLM/PS Project Manager, MSS France (MEGGITT)
My experience so far gave me a large expertise in several aspects:
- Project Management
- SAP migration and data translation
- Management, training, negotiation;
- Knowledge of the eco-conception processes, LCA, EIME, referentials in sustainable development.
- Trilingual in Spanish and English; I had been living abroad for 7 years: 4.5 years in Spain, 2.5 years in English speaking countries (UK, Ireland, Oceania).
- Computing skills: Windows XP, Excel on high level, SAP Business System, People Soft 8, Mac Os X, Oracle, Sonar and AS400, Photoshop CS2, SharePoint.
As part of my professional project, I am currently looking for a position as a project manager or consultant in either SAP migrations or Sustainable Development (mainly eco-conception).
Indeed, I believe that fully integrated systems, most of all under the Product Lifecycle Management, are worth to be used to undergo an implementation of a sustainable development or eco-conception policy. In fact, the PLM SAP module and the eco-conception are closely linked.

2009 - 2010This project consisted in creating a consulting company in eco-conception for the electronic industry mainly. I developped a specific tool that was designed to help engineers measure the level of eco-conception of their work and help them to take decisions regarding environmental requirements.
The project has been in standby since then due to financial shortage.
