Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Blanc is a senior programs leader with 8+ years driving global, multi-site aerospace and sensing programmes, now serving as Sr. Director of Programs for the Motion, Power & Sensing Division at Parker Meggitt. He combines PMI-certified program and project management with hands-on engineering roots—holding a Master in Microengineering from EPFL and co-inventing a patented microfluidic medical device for blood coagulation testing. Skilled in C/C++/Java and tools from Matlab to PTC ProEngineer, he bridges R&D, certification-led aerospace development (DO-178/254/160) and commercial delivery, accountable for cost, risk and schedule across complex portfolios. A polyglot (French native, C1 English, some German) who has led cross-functional teams and consortium proposals for EU R&D calls, he brings both technical depth and proven leadership in coordinating large engineering efforts. Less obvious: his background spans intimate lab-scale microfluidics innovation to enterprise programme governance, giving him rare perspective on taking microsystems from patent and publication to certified aerospace products.
