ICONDA Solutions : Your Partner in Professional Development

Learn about ICONDA Solutions, offering coaching, training, and workshops for technology professionals worldwide, from Grenoble in the French Alps

I am Andrew Betts, ICONDA Solutions is my company.

As a coach and trainer specializing in professional communication, I help individuals grow as effective communicators, both in interpersonal interactions and as influential members of their organizations. My work spans a wide range of areas, including improving posture, resolving problems, navigating difficult conversations, and addressing client-facing challenges.

I thrive on creating tailored programs to meet unique needs, blending training, coaching, and mentoring as needed. I approach every challenge with the belief that, while my clients are already performing well in complex situations, fresh perspectives can unlock even greater achievements.

My career began with small electronics companies in the UK. I later pursued a PhD in analog IC design, which led to a role as a lecturer at University College London. Drawn back to industry, I joined STMicroelectronics, working first in Bristol and later relocating to Grenoble, France, where I’ve lived ever since.

After my time at STMicroelectronics, I led Qualis Europe, a consultancy specializing in IC Verification. When the company was acquired, I joined the American EDA startup Magma. Following Magma’s acquisition in 2009, I took the leap to establish ICONDA Solutions.

I am particularly grateful to the following people for their long-term support and active collaboration : Séverine Hessel, Suraj Ethirajan, Lionel Touchart, Paul Double and François Cerisier.
