With a Ph.D. in AI from École Polytechnique and technical expertise spanning Data, Software Engineering, and DevOps, I have also developed strong skills in strategy, business, HR, and management as Co-CEO of my companies.

My goal has always been to push the boundaries of innovation, creating solutions that are both high-performing and pragmatic to address the strategic needs of businesses.
