These books were published on my blog “Opinions Libres” (www.oezratty.net<\/a>) which deals with technological innovation from the scientific, technological, entrepreneurial and innovation public policies and now, mainly about quantum technologies.<\/p>\n Since 2005, I carried out various missions in different verticals such as the media and telecoms <\/strong>(Orange, Bouygues T\u00e9l\u00e9com, TDF, M\u00e9diam\u00e9trie, BVA, Astra), finance and insurance <\/strong>(BPCE group, Caisse des D\u00e9p\u00f4ts, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale, Swiss Life, Cr\u00e9dit Agricole, Cr\u00e9dit Mutuel-CIC, Generali, MAIF), industry and services <\/strong>(Schneider, Camfil, Vinci, NTN-STR, Econocom, ADP, Air France, Airbus) and in the public sector <\/strong>(Ministry of Defense, CEA, M\u00e9t\u00e9o France, Bpifrance, Business France, Douanes Fran\u00e7aises, Inria, European Union).<\/p>\n QFDN<\/strong><\/p>\n I am also the co-initiator in 2012 of Quelques Femmes du Num\u00e9rique !<\/strong> (\u201csome digital women\u201d, www.qfdn.net<\/a>) which became an association in 2016, and aims to increase gender balance in digital professions, by raising awareness among young people about these professions.

I initialized developments under Windows 1.0 in the field of editorial computing as well as on SGML, the ancestor of HTML and XML.<\/p>\n Joining Microsoft<\/strong>\u00a0France <\/strong>in 1990, I gained experience in many areas of the marketing mix. I launched the first version of Visual Basic in 1991 and Windows NT in 1993. In 1998, I became Marketing and Communication Director of Microsoft France and in 2001, Director of the Developer Division, which I created in France to launch the .NET platform and promote it to developers, higher education and research, as well as to startups. These were 15 very busy years but a long time ago.<\/p>\n\n
