Before establishing AVANTIA, our founding managing partners spent over thirty years working on the inside—holding direct engineering, operational, and executive leadership roles across twelve of the world’s most demanding manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, energy, and pharmaceutical organizations.
All organizations presented on this page reflect the prior individual employment, in-house engineering leadership, and principal programme delivery of AVANTIA’s founding partners as individual professionals before founding AVANTIA. They are shown strictly to illustrate our leadership team’s career background and do not represent commercial contracts of AVANTIA Solutions.
Prior to establishing AVANTIA, both founding managing partners served in senior leadership roles at Capgemini Engineering—the world’s premier engineering and R&D powerhouse. Working at the intersection of operational technology (OT) and enterprise IT, our founders led large-scale industrial transformation, connected factory architectures, and mission-critical engineering programmes for European and global manufacturers.
Direct employment and operational leadership inside world-class automation, energy, health-technology, automotive, and engineering corporations prior to founding AVANTIA.
Direct in-house engineering and operational tenure inside one of the world’s premier automation pioneers—architecting control systems, SCADA/DCS integration, and high-reliability electrification.
Both founding managing partners held senior leadership positions within Capgemini Engineering, directing multi-disciplinary industrial transformation, engineering R&D, and connected factory programmes.
In-house leadership across large-scale energy generation, distributed utility networks, and industrial decarbonization infrastructure requiring 24/7 operational resilience.
Direct in-house engineering and manufacturing tenure across high-complexity automotive body-in-white, trim-and-final assembly, and connected vehicle production systems.
Direct tenure within strictly regulated medical technology manufacturing environments, enforcing zero-defect quality management, compliance traceability, and high-precision assembly.
In-house industrial and engineering tenure inside one of Europe’s largest automotive manufacturers (now Stellantis), optimizing high-cadence stamping, powertrain, and plant-floor OEE.
In-house tenure at the global leader in thermal energy management and industrial fluid technology, optimizing mission-critical steam loops and process efficiency across manufacturing plants.
Flagship aerospace, defense, and biopharmaceutical enterprises where our founding partners architected and delivered mission-critical industrial programmes during their prior careers.
Principal programme delivery as senior practitioners for Europe’s flagship aerospace manufacturer—advancing digital thread continuity, aerostructure assembly intelligence, and strict quality governance.
Principal programme delivery across regulated biopharmaceutical production sites—driving batch release visibility, GxP-compliant data pipelines, and real-time laboratory-to-plant integration.
Senior programme leadership delivered for sovereign defense and security manufacturing environments operating under strict air-gapped cybersecurity and long-lifecycle asset requirements.
Senior engineering and digital manufacturing delivery supporting high-volume sterile vaccine and pharmaceutical formulation plants with deterministic validation protocols.
Principal programme execution across global consumer healthcare production and packaging lines, combining FMCG line speeds with pharmaceutical regulatory rigor.
Grouping our founding partners’ twelve prior-career organizations by industry vertical reveals why AVANTIA is uniquely equipped to solve complex OT/IT bottlenecks across high-compliance manufacturing plants.
Deep practitioner background inside FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU GMP Annex 11, and ISO 13485 regulated plants—where every sensor reading, batch deviation, and AI model output must be deterministic and audit-ready.
Hands-on programme leadership across commercial aviation and sovereign defense manufacturing—architecting zero-trust, air-gapped industrial software where failure is never an option.
Direct in-house automotive engineering tenure managing high-cadence body-in-white, powertrain, and final assembly lines where minutes of unplanned downtime cost hundreds of thousands of euros.
Foundational in-house tenure inside the world’s leading automation, thermal energy, utility, and engineering R&D organizations—bridging raw fieldbus protocols with enterprise cloud intelligence.
When you engage AVANTIA, your architecture is designed and delivered directly by our founding managing partners—never delegated to junior analysts.
