Previously

The missing link between research and the corporate world. Learning to speak the language of decision-makers.
Education

PhD in Neurosciences

ICM, Pitié-Salpêtrière, Paris. Neuroscience research at the Brain Institute.

Four years dissecting the complexity of the human brain. A way of thinking that has never left me — and that changes everything in how I approach AI.

Why Me?

An atypical profile. Built for problems that don't fit in a box.

Scientific Rigor (PhD)

High-level training in evidence and complex data analysis. Indispensable when AI operates in contexts where error is not an option.

Business Vision (MBA)

I translate technological capabilities into tangible value. KPIs, ROI, strategic trade-offs — I speak the language of decision-makers.

Field Experience

I don't just advise. I've built, deployed, convinced stakeholders, and led projects in complex and regulated environments.

Beyond titles, an ability to navigate between worlds

Most AI consultants master technology. Or business. Rarely both.

My path is not a pre-traced one: PhD in Neurosciences at the Brain Institute, then an MBA at the Collège des Ingénieurs.

That's what I call speaking all languages. From a board table to a business team, I translate technical issues into business decisions, and strategic ambitions into concrete actions.

Several years structuring the data and AI strategy of an international CAC40 group in the healthcare sector taught me one thing: understanding the other's world is the only way to move forward together.

This hybrid profile now allows me to solve complex problems where others see dead ends.

A profile like mine is best tested on a real project.
