What our teams are saying
In 2018, I joined the Group as Chief Architect for North America. I lead an artificial intelligence center focused on deploying AI solutions for mission-critical and safety-critical applications, primarily in the aerospace and defense domain. Thales placed its trust in me and established an office in Cincinnati where we work on various AI applications such as tactical mission planning for helicopters and high-altitude gliders. I am proud to be part of a Group that is a global leader in AI that works to make it safe, reliable, and ethical.
Nick
Chief Architect
As VP HR, my work entails strategy, people development, intense deadlines, employee engagement… I strongly believe work-life balance is essential for a fulfilling and productive work life, so dedicating time to personal interests, like playing cricket on weekends, refreshes my mind and body. I have been regularly playing cricket all my life, more so in professional level. In my view Cricket fosters teamwork, discipline, and physical fitness, enhancing overall well-being. Passion for both work and play creates a harmonious and fulfilling lifestyle.
Sanjeet
VP Human Resources Business Partner
Over 24 years at Thales, I’ve had the privilege of working across 3 countries and in various exciting roles. From my time in Canada, where I was hands-on with urban rail projects, to collaborating with engineers in China and Singapore, every experience has been eye-opening. In France, I supported different business lines at HQ, gaining insight into global operations. My journey continues now at Thales InFlight Entertainment in California, focusing on innovation and intellectual property.
