He started his career in 1985 in Côte d’Ivoire, in a project aiming at the development of aquaculture within local small farmers (raising Tilapia). In 1989, he returned to France and joined BURGEAP, an environmental consulting firm where he worked for 23 years, at first as an engineer working in the field of water and soil treatment. He gradually acquired a very broad expertise on all the issues related to the environmental engineering, pollution clean-up and waste disposal. He has carried out numerous assignments abroad, notably in Africa and the Maghreb, areas he knows very well.

He contributed to the emergence of the polluted sites decontamination activity in France, being the chairman of the French professional union of sites clean-up companies (UPDS) from 2001 to 2004.

In 1998, he took part with two partners in the management buyout of BURGEAP, of which he became Deputy CEO and then CEO until 2012. During this period, BURGEAP developed strongly, both through internal growth and acquisitions, becoming a major actor in environmental engineering in France, with 350 employees, 35 million € sales, several subsidiaries abroad and an association with the German company GITEC-IGIP.

In 2013, he left BURGEAP and decided to contribute to solve a practical and effective way the problem of lack of sustainable protein resources for feed. Thus, he brought together 4 associates with complementary skills, and created MUTATEC, with the ambition of setting up a network of insect farms for the bioconversion of organic residues in proteins for animal feed.
