Description

AI & Data Strategy Consultant | GenAI & RAG Expert | Centrale Paris

With 10+ years of experience in data engineering and data science, I help companies navigate their AI transformation -- from strategy to implementation.

My approach: Combining strategic vision with technical expertise to deliver GenAI projects that actually reach production (unlike the 95% of pilots that fail).

Value proposition:

I bridge the gap between AI strategy and technical execution.

Most AI consultants are either strategists (who produce slides but can't code) or developers (who code but can't speak to executives)

I do both: I understand business stakes AND I know to implement solutions.
