Yannick Martel’s Summary

I have been working in the software industry, first at IT departments of service providers such as France Telecom and Cegetel, as a presales consultant for a software vendor, as Technical Account Manager at the IT consulting firm Octo Technology, and now as manager of the Telco / Public Sector branch.

I have gained hands-on experience on the life of telecom and utility service providers, then to be able to better understand their needs and constraints, and help solve them from a richer perspective.

In my current management position I enjoy very much the possibility to contribute to the success of my company as a key element in the sales and delivery process, by exercising my analytical and technical skills. I always try to understand the real needs and requirements of my clients and balance them with the interests of my company, to offer the best solution.

I am used to working in international companies and multi-cultural environments. I speak and read/write in three languages: French, English and Spanish.
