Marine Torrollion
Co-founder and CEO
STUDIES
Graduated in 2014 with a degree in Health Information Technology Engineering, top of her class, her entire professional career has focused on the development of medical devices.
PROFESSIONNAL EXPERIENCE
More than 10 years of experience as a software engineer and then project manager on software integrated into a device with a hardware component have provided insight into working in large companies (THALES), medium-sized companies (BLUE-ORTHO), and start-ups (FLUOPTICS). These three companies had different organizational structures and quality systems, allowing me to draw inspiration from all three models to optimize O-TECHNO’s. During these years, contact with the US was important in terms of customer relations, as the majority of customers were based in the United States.
COMMITMENT
« Keen to start a company for a cause that inspires me, I came up with the idea and developed the product that would enable me to take action and create a start-up. I am familiar with the Alpine medical industry ecosystem, and my network allows me to make rapid progress on key strategic points for getting the business off the ground. »
ROLE
Marine is the founder of the project and the company’s first investor. She has knowledge of the entrepreneurial environment in medical devices, regulatory constraints, and project management, as well as technical skills in software development.
Marine uses this experience to proactively and effectively manage the creation, launch, and sustainability of the company.
