Guillaume Menard IT Manager 2017 \ France
Jump from the JE level to work with the European team was logical for me because of my passion for the JE concept. At the time, it was not easy for me to move to Brussels. However, this was not an obstacle, as I could work remotely, from Nantes. Therefore, I was able to conciliate my daily life with my job in JADE. Being IT Project Manager allows you to work on many things and helping 300+ JEs in Europe, by improving the tools they use. I was involved in the organization of the JSC and with the JADE’s website management.
