Open to opportunities
With 12 years of experience as an Engineer and Program Manager in the Aerospace, Naval, Nuclear, and Logistics industry, I am currently seeking new opportunities in management and corporate roles. Born and raised in Casablanca, I have always been passionate about exploring different cultures and have travelled extensively. This multicultural background has honed my ability to adapt quickly, a skill that I have consistently demonstrated throughout my career.
My adaptability has been instrumental in successfully managing critical situations and seamlessly transitioning into new environments and industries. I believe in a management style that blends pragmatism with humility and I thrive on taking on ambitious challenges that require dynamism, efficiency, and creativity.
Being open-minded and multilingual (French, English, Spanish, and Arabic), I strongly believe that growth and personal development occur outside of one's comfort zone. This mindset drives me to continuously seek out new experiences and challenges.
I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise to a new organization and I look forward to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead.

- In 2012, Airbus Helicopters faced several challenges. They had to maintain the production capacity of their current range of helicopters while also completing the development of their new heavy-lift helicopter, the H175, preparing it for market launch, and starting its serial production. Additionally, they had to initiate the launch of several new helicopter programs to replace a significant portion of their current range.
It was in this context that I joined the Flight Test Department at Airbus Helicopters, with the mission to oversee activities related to the H175. My main focuses were Flight Performance and Weight & Balance. From the moment I arrived, a few months before the first flight, I was involved in various tasks, both technical and managerial. These responsibilities eventually led me to assume functional management of the Mass & Balance department two years later. - Responsibilities & Key achievements:
- Weight and balance calculations, Weighing in assembly chain, Mission calculations for tender responses
- Monitoring of technical studies and writing technical notes, PDR/CDR equipment development reviews for missions (O&G, SAR, and VIP) with various departments (Engineering, Quality, Production, Flight Crew, Sales Departments)
- Assistance in fine-tuning Weight and Balance performance: H/C Weighing, As Built vs As To Be Built Analyses, Verification of delivery notes, Identification of technical opportunities and risk management (FMEA), Management of weight reduction and balance correction campaigns
- Improvement of document quality (Bill of Materials - BoM), data reliability on PLM ENOVIA, and reduction of processing times by the Weight and Balance department
- Collaboration with H175 project partners in China (HAIG, CHRDI) – Participation in helicopter certification with European authorities (EASA) --> Certification of H175 by EASA (Jan. 2014)
- Delivery of first O&G and VIP versions, Development of Multi-Mission SAR version, and the Chinese Prototype of H175 (Z15)"
