Frank Giroux

Coming from a french family and raised in Berlin I love to say that I am a best of breed between both cultures. I can appreciate an efficient lunch as well as some good bottles of wine in your cellar.

My path so far

My center of interest have always been logistics processes. I lay the fundamentals by studying “Wirtschaftsingenieur” logistics in Berlin and by adding an MBA in economics and logistics in Toulouse.

In 30 years of industrial experience I have since analyzed and implemented processes in many different areas such as

Engine attachments at Aerospatiale
Motor assembly at Daimler Benz
Production of animal food at Bayer animal health
End to end pharmaceutical production at Bayer Pharma

In all of these projects I was always positioned at the cross-line between business process and information management. In the second half of my career at Bayer the focus on efficiently managing information took a bigger part on stage with projects in search and business intelligence.

Setting up the organization for a marketing and CRM analytics team
Implementing an enterprise search center
Implementing a chatbot factory

I have then spent the last five years building and implementing the IT strategy for supply chain management for Bayer Pharma. A core element of the roadmap quickly became the portfolio for LLM based agents.
