We must admit that understanding the job of a PLM Technical Consultant isn’t an easy task!So, to take the mystery out of our activity and the different jobs that exist at Fit Retail, we’ve decided to launch a series of articles about our collaborators. The goal: to familiarize you (or even project you) with our company and our amazing team 😍
We start our series of articles today with Maxime, PLM Software Consultant since 2018.
🔙 WHAT CAREER PATH TO BECOME A TECHNICAL CONSULTANT AT FIT RETAIL?
Maxime has a “classic” background: Scientifific baccalaureate, DUT in computer science, Engineering degree in computer science. Why did he choose IT? He doesn’t really know! It was a coincidence, but 20 years later, he still thrives in this field.
Maxime has started his professional career at Unilog (acomputer service company based in Amiens) as an Analyst-Developer on a TMA project. He was managing evolutions, corrections, and data extractions on the Graphtalk AIA tool for different life insurance companies.
5 years later, he decided to come back to his home region, the North of France. He joined the Data Marketing agency ETO Publicis, where he worked for various clientsin the luxury, ready-to-wear and automotive industries, and on applications such as CRM platforms or marketing campaign management tools. Technically, he was able to develop skills in Microsoft .NET, SQL Server, various ETL (SSIS, ODI and Stambia) and Adobe Campaign.
Then, he crossed Fit Retail’s path and decided to join us (heart with fingers). Maxime arrived as a Technical Consultant and quickly became the Expert who saves our customers and his colleagues from important technical issues.
