//CEO@GRANNY&SMITH, DE-RISKING INNOLAB FOR THE MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES

I’m an inventor, innovator and investor. I turn real problems into real companies.My career changed the moment I realized most innovations fail for the same reason: everyone talks about ideas - almost no one builds them.In boardrooms and workshops, I watched brilliant concepts suffocate under politics, process and PowerPoints. The spark in people’s eyes faded the moment reality entered the room. I couldn’t unsee it.So I stopped helping people discuss the future and started building it.Over the past 15 years, I’ve created products, ventures and business models that didn’t exist before. What began as engineering evolved into a practice: recognizing real unmet needs, inventing the solution and forming a company around it.Today, I operate where invention, innovation and investment meet. I don’t manage portfolios — I create the companies they’re built from.How I work: • real-world problems • physical + digital products • validated demand • scalable models • long-term ownershipWhat drives me: If you can see a better future, you’re responsible for building it. I work with people who believe progress comes from creating, not talking — and who want to bring things into the world that should already exist.That’s why I build.More: grannyandsmith.com

STEVE JOBS: HOW MANY OF YOU ARE CONSULTANTS? OH... THAT'S BAD!

Consulting is broken.

A lot of smart people…
 _Sell you a PowerPoint.
 _Disappear when it’s time to execute.

_No skin in the game.
_No responsibility.
_No results.

Consulting can feel like hiring someone to build you a sandcastle…
 …and finding out they only brought a whiteboard.

Big ideas. Fancy slides.

And when it’s time to actually do the thing — poof — they’re gone.

We prefer a different game: roll up sleeves, build stuff that works, and maybe get some sand in our shoes.

Because in innovation, the fun part is not talking about the castle.
 
It’s standing in front of it saying: 

“Yep. We made that.”

STEVE JOBS SAID ONE DECISION IN LIFE SEPARATES SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE FROM THOSE WHO ONLY DREAM

That decision? 

PERSEVERANCE.

Steve Jobs put it perfectly:

"I'm convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.... Unless you have a lot of passion about this, you're not going to survive. You're going to give it up."

Jobs knew this from experience. He was fired from Apple, started over with NeXT, then came back to build one of the world's most valuable companies.
Here's what separates dreamers from achievers:

_Passion fuels persistence - Without deep passion for your mission, you'll quit when things get tough

_Setbacks become feedback - Every failure reveals what customers really want and where you need to improve

_Long-term vision beats short-term pain - When you're anchored in your "why," you can weather any storm

_Persist, but pivot - Stay committed to the goal while being flexible in your approach

Research backs this up: Angela Duckworth's studies show that grit and sustained perseverance predict success better than IQ or talent alone.

The next time you want to quit, ask yourself: Am I facing a dead end—or just the natural friction of progress?

The leaders who refuse to quit, who show up one more time after setbacks, are the ones who ultimately cross the finish line.

What's one time perseverance made all the difference in your journey?

Vous avez déjà vu une plateforme pétrolière en mer et pensé "incroyable, mais comment ça tient face aux vagues géantes?" 🌊
Imaginez: 10 000 tonnes qui flottent, percent à 3000m de profondeur, sans bouger d'un mm.
Et si un seul calcul d'ancrage foire, c'est la catastrophe.

– Le vrai problème? 80% des ingénieurs sous-estiment les charges dynamiques offshore.
Vous calculez vos ancres comme des pieux terrestres, mais Eurocode 8 (sismique) + DNV rules pour offshore ignorent les vagues à 20m/s et courants de 2nœuds.
Résultat: surtensions x3, flambement des pontons, ou pire, dérive totale.

✦ Le reframe qui change tout:
Ces monstres ne "flottent" pas, ils DANSENT avec la mer.

Pontons semi-submersibles: 70% en immersion pour stabilité (comme un bateau qui s'enfonce exprès).
↳ Ancrages dynamiques: 4 chaînes de 5t chacune, pré-tendues à 500kN, vérifiées en fatigue sur 25 ans.
→ Eurocode 3 (acier) + API RP 2SK pour vents extrêmes: on intègre Ra = 1.35 (combo charges permanentes + vagues).

👉 MICRO-ACTIONS MAINTENANT:
✅ Vérifiez vos ancres: effort admissible < 60% de la rupture (DTU 13.11 inspire, mais offshore c'est DNV-OS-E301).
🏗️ Testez la submersion: draft min 25m pour vagues H=15m (formule: T=2π√(d/g)).
⚠️ Fatigue: 10^7 cycles sur 20 ans → utilisez S-N curves Eurocode 3 Part 1-9.
👉 Simulez vagues + vent: seuil critique si Fy > 1.5 x capacité nominale.
✅ Sauvegardez avec outil validé (pas Excel basique).

"C'est pas la mer qui gagne, c'est l'ingénieur qui anticipe ses colères."

C'est pour ça que j'ai créé des Excels en construction qui vérifient les éléments des structures du bâtiment – validés sur chantiers réels.
