About me
Fabrice Jimenez
Technology, however complex, is just a lever. People are the driving force.
Driven by the mechanics of decision-making, I first became a Machine Learning expert. After successfully building and leading an AI center of competence for a major industrial group (Airbus systems engineering), one thing became clear: code and algorithms are never the real roadblocks. The challenge is, and always will be, human.
To master this dimension with the same precision, I trained in complex negotiation and high-stakes influence techniques with crisis negotiators.
The art of balance and impact
My path is a bridge between two worlds too often kept apart. With Midway, I unite what belongs together to drive sustainable performance: technical and operational excellence, and the strategic power of negotiation and influence.

My methodology: hands-on learning
Because you can’t learn to swim from a book, my sessions are immersive and pragmatic. I create safe environments where you can test, fail, and grow through realistic role-play scenarios.
