Building AI and data products for the last 15 years.

I'm an engineer by training and very early got interested into applying maths to societal questions. When I was in academia, economic empowerment was core to my research. I was looking at the impact of rising inequality of income and wealth, and wanted to shift from analyzing households' balancesheets to improving them. I spent the following 10+ years in San Francisco working on developing marketplaces that enable people to make better use of their assets : their cars (at Turo), their homes (at Airbnb). At Airbnb, we also focused a lot on enabling people to live from their passion with experiences. I have now moved back to France to be closer to my family and contribute to another disrupting marketplace, Malt, enabling people to make the best decisions about their most important asset: their human capital, their talent and their time.

Disruption and innovation often come with a dark side too, even with the best company mission. This is why I love data roles, because we can see first hand what's going on and nudge the organization. Ethical data use and AI is also a significant challenge, on which we need more brains. Join me in this adventure!
