Géraldine Cabannes’s Summary

I have been working in the software and high tech industry for the past 8 years holding different positions in Sales and Marketing. My domain of expertise covers the broad Marketing and Business Development field, including a strong knowledge in Technology Transfer, Business Plan, Marketing Research Survey and Telemarketing.

I'm currently President and Founder of ActiveEon, an open source software company providing open source solutions in the distributed and parallel domain to accelerate enterprise applications and virtualization.

Prior to founding ActiveEon, I spent 2 years at France’s pre-eminent IT research institute, INRIA (The French National Institute for Research in Computer Science & Control). I played a major role in technology transfer (in-depth analysis on ProActive commercial users) by being actively engaged in the OASIS scientific research team.

From 2000 to 2002, I joined REALVIZ in its start-up stage and derived from years of research efforts at the INRIA Lab. I held the position of Telemarketing and then Sales & Channel Manager in the EMEA regions. Today Realviz is a leader in 2D image processing and 3D image-based modeling software for computer graphics professionals.

I earned a joint Bachelor’s Degree in Communications / English Literature & Translation at the University of Cincinnati / University of Toulouse and I hold a MBA from the I.A.E School at the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis obtained in 2006.

My goal is to gain strong experience in software startups management, including fund raising, international development, finance, legal and strategic vision.
When I reached my goal, I would like to leverage my experience and the recent MBA learnings into a challenging teaching position to train the world leaders of tomorrow.
