Furthermore, Baptiste has aided in founding and developing a number of start-ups and followed several collaborations with digital, defence and aviation manufactures. During May 2017 to 2019, Batiste was named chief of staff to French-based biochemist, academic administrator, and politician who served as Minister of Higher Education Frédérique Vidal. After which in 2019 Batiste was an advisor to the French prime Minister Édouard Philippe, During this time Batiste was in close connection with the space policy. During 2020, Baptiste was appointed Partner and Director of American global management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group. Recognition
During 1999, Batisete was awarded the Prix Robert Faure award by the French Operations Research & Decision Support Society(ROADEF), a non-profit society that aims to promote scientific fields of operations Research and Decision in France. The award is in tribute to Professor Robert Faure and available to younger researchers (under 36) who are members of ROADEF, and is awarded every 3 years. In November 2000, Batiste was awarded the Cor Baayen Award for his PHD thesis in an ERCIM country which include: Cyprus, Poland, France, Germany, Austria, Greece, Italy, Norway, Portugal, The Netherlands, Finland and Sweden. Baptiste won this award fue to the quality of his PHD thesis and his previous publications and achievements up to the year 2000. Publications
