Quote
Parfois le chemin est dur (Sometimes the path isn't straightforward).
What qualities do you admire most in your colleagues?
Passion, vision and professionalism.
What kind of project do you enjoy working on most?
Any project represents a new experience. A new experience to: meet new people, do things differently, do new things, discover new places and grow as a person. More specifically, I like to work on projects involving virtual and augmented environment technologies (3-D, video streaming, etc.).
What do you like most about being in the Accenture Technology Labs?
The ability to be part of innovative projects while preserving the ability to work on more traditional client engagements. I also like to work with people with a background that is different from mine—this gives a good opportunity to share experiences.
