MICROOLED strengthens its executive team

MICROOLED, a global leader in the manufacturing of high-resolution, low-power OLED microdisplays, today announces the appointment of Thierry Bissuel, former VP & GM at Teledyne e2v, as Chief Executive Officer, and Faustine Gehin, former COO/CFO at Pharma IA, as Chief Financial Officer.

Since its founding in 2007, MICROOLED has established itself as a leader in OLED microdisplays, thanks to its unique expertise and the use of core technologies derived from the semiconductor industry. The company’s continued growth and the development of vertical strategies—such as the Engo/ActiveLook product line for the B2C sports market, and microdisplays for industrial and defense applications—have led to the adaptation and strengthening of its executive team, in order to mobilize the appropriate resources and funding for each segment.

Thierry Bissuel joined the company as Chief Executive Officer on April 22, 2025. He brings extensive experience in semiconductors, systems, and software across various international markets. Combining a strategic vision with hands-on team support, Thierry has held leadership roles in R&D, marketing, business development, and general management within international groups, SMEs, and startups during both entrepreneurial and transformational phases. Prior to joining MICROOLED, he spent nine years at Teledyne e2v, leading the high-reliability semiconductor division for space and defense.

Faustine Gehin joined the company on April 28, 2025, as Chief Financial and Administrative Officer. She brings extensive experience in corporate structuring and management, with a strong focus on tools, processes, and people. Most recently CFO of the Quinten Group, she has international experience in executing complex projects and driving growth through M&A strategies.

Building on the tremendous work accomplished throughout the MICROOLED journey, Éric Marcellin Dibon will now focus—alongside a dedicated team—on the highly promising Engo/ActiveLook venture, targeting various consumer and outdoor markets. This next phase will involve establishing a dedicated organization and securing financial partners suited to the demands of these markets.

“I am honored by the trust placed in me by the group of investors and by the warm welcome from the teams, whose expertise in pushing the global boundaries of OLED microdisplay technology is already well established. The current geopolitical context and market momentum are particularly favorable for sovereign projects and a wide range of professional applications in security and augmented reality. Together, we will continue to drive and accelerate MICROOLED’s technological, commercial, and industrial journey—proudly promoting Grenoble’s excellence around the world,” said Thierry Bissuel, CEO of MICROOLED.

“I am delighted to join MICROOLED and to contribute to structuring and steering the company, building on the solid foundations laid by the teams, in order to support ambitious and scalable growth. This will notably include a unifying project to become a data-driven company focused on quality and traceability,” commented Faustine Gehin, CFO of MICROOLED.

“I founded MICROOLED in 2007 with the ambition to create the most efficient microdisplay technology on the market, and since then, the company has become a global player with a strong presence in international markets. Today, I am confident in the new team’s ability to sustain this growth momentum, allowing me to fully dedicate myself to the development of Engo—our augmented reality sports glasses,” said Eric Marcellin-Dibon, founder of MICROOLED.

“First and foremost, I would like to sincerely thank Éric for his exemplary commitment since the founding of MICROOLED. We are entering a new chapter in the company’s history, and the expansion of the leadership team will enable everyone to focus on the success of our ongoing strategic initiatives. I am convinced that the arrival of Thierry and Faustine will help position MICROOLED among the leading European players in the applied electronics of the future,” added Henri Richard, Chairman of MICROOLED.
