ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Arnaud has lived a life packed with passports, pixels, and prestidigitation.

With a successful international career in senior executive roles across the IT industry, he’s lived and worked all over the globe—from the Netherlands and Belgium to the United States, Switzerland, Canada, Singapore, India, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia. These adventures eventually led him to settle in the picturesque town of Oviedo in northern Spain, where he now writes, creates, and drinks far too much coffee (or so he claims).

His extensive background in technology and large-scale enterprises subtly weaves its way into his storytelling, adding depth and authenticity to the fictional worlds he builds. If you spot a bit of corporate intrigue, a dash of digital wizardry, or a suspiciously accurate boardroom drama in his books—now you know why.

But Arnaud’s story isn’t all code and strategy. Since childhood, he’s also been a semi-professional magician—yes, the real kind, with sleight of hand and astonished audiences. He’s performed for thousands (including Dutch royalty), developed original magic effects, and won awards, including being named Magician of the Year in the Netherlands. His passion for magic still plays a starring role in his writing, where the sense of wonder and the art of surprise are never far from the surface.

He dipped his toes into the writing world with An Open Shift just to see if he liked it. (Spoiler: he did.) Reader feedback was so encouraging that he dove into his next book, Zero Knowledge, written for a wider audience and packed with his signature blend of wit, quirk, and cleverly crafted twists.

Arnaud’s writing style is a playful cocktail of humor, facts, imagination, and unpredictability. Whether he’s unraveling corporate conspiracies, exploring the future of tech, or conjuring a little literary magic, his goal is always the same: to entertain, surprise, and take readers somewhere delightfully unexpected.

He’s happily married to Marina, his partner in all things wonderful. He has two amazing daughters, Lisanne and Charlotte.
