Before then, Victoria was Vice President for Operations with NOVA R&D which was acquired by Kromek, a leading supplier of advanced radiation detection components and devices.

Her career in business and applied innovation was preceded by many years in the research enterprise, principally at the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter of the University of Pennsylvania, and the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique laboratories of the Institut des Matériaux Jean Rouxel in Nantes.

Victoria has a PhD in experimental solid-state physics from the University of Pennsylvania and a post-doctoral Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches from the Université de Nantes.
