About Sofiane
Entrepreneur with 15+ years in tech, I put AI at the core of every product and business decision. Co-founder of Krisspy (50,000+ users, backed by Microsoft), I've experienced firsthand what it takes to scale an AI product internationally — from strategic vision all the way to hands-on execution.
My positioning: I embed within executive teams and C-suites to bring a clear, actionable tech & AI vision fully aligned with business objectives.
What I bring to the table:
I structure, I accelerate, I de-risk. Whether it's defining an AI product roadmap, recruiting and building a tech team from scratch, or injecting agility into a stalling organization — I step in fast, with a clear framework and a high bar for results.
I thrive in high-pressure environments: fundraising, tight deadlines, strategic pivots, rapid growth. I know how to rally teams, prioritize ruthlessly and stay the course when everything is moving.
