VINCENT SABATHIER

Systems Architect · Entrepreneur · Former Diplomat · Strategic Adviser

For more than three decades, Vincent Sabathier has worked across disciplines that are usually separated: engineering, industrial operations, diplomacy, public policy, entrepreneurship and strategic advisory.

ENGINEERING & INDUSTRY

At CNES, Vincent worked as a systems engineer on the upper part of Ariane 5, payload accommodation and launcher aerodynamics. At Arianespace, he moved from engineering into industrial production, follow-on development and commercialization, carrying complex systems from qualification to market.

DIPLOMACY & PUBLIC POLICY

As CNES Representative to the United States and Space Attaché at the Embassy of France in Washington, D.C., he worked across civil, commercial and defense space. He subsequently served as Senior Fellow and Director of the Space Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, at the intersection of technology, public policy and international affairs.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP & OPERATIONS

Vincent founded Alsatis in France, Sabathier Consulting in the United States, and Bloosurf on the U.S. East Coast. Alsatis evolved from a broadband operator into integrated Smart Territory infrastructure spanning satellite, terrestrial wireless, IoT, cybersecurity and datacenters. At Bloosurf, Vincent retained the CTO role alongside CEO, designing and operating fixed-wireless and XGS-PON fiber networks.

ADVISORY

Through Sabathier Consulting, Vincent has advised governments and industry on technology strategy, international expansion, business development and public policy. His work has included Japan, JAXA and Safran, and today extends to emerging space-based computing and the infrastructure chain connecting sensing, networks, datacenters, compute and AI.

A SYSTEMS VIEW

Every major technological revolution ultimately becomes an infrastructure revolution. The challenge is to see the transition early enough to shape it.
