Romain DERANE
Regional Category Buyer Supply Chain and Industrial Equipments (MEA) - Sphere DronesAfter graduating as a Business Engineer in 2014, I completed a 2-year VIE in Australia. During this period I went on holiday to Singapore where I took part in a local KEDGE Afterwork. This inspired me to organize the same thing in Australia, which at the time didn't yet have an alumni office. Back in Australia, I set up the Sydney branch with the help of KEDGE's international branch manager in April 2017.
Since then, I've worked in several Australian companies specializing in professional drones. I am currently working at Sphere Drones(https://spheredrones.com.au) as Customer Success Executive.
In parallel, I continue to organize events for the Alumnis in Sydney.
Don't hesitate to contact me via LinkedIn if you're planning to come to Australia and have any questions, or to share any ideas you'd like to see happen within the Sydney Alumni Chapter!
