Etienne Canaud is a PPM system architect with 9 years of focused experience architecting and improving Project and Portfolio Management platforms across global enterprises, now based in Shanghai. He blends hands-on engineering and product stewardship—prototyping LLM-driven PPM summarization and automated report generation that became technical previews, and driving portfolio optimization and resource-allocation innovations using mathematical solvers. A frequent R&D contact for customers and partners, he has led cross-team adoption of PPM for diverse use cases from resource forecasting to real estate financials, and runs customer-facing design review programs to shape roadmaps. Comfortable toggling between code, architecture and stakeholder-facing work, he values delivering software that makes customers happy and has a track record of turning customer feedback directly into product enhancements. He also brings a research background in semantic web services and data mining, which informs his pragmatic approach to AI, optimization and integration challenges.
