Pushing the frontier of AI, one failure at a time

Portrait of Name

At 5 years old, I watched the Truman Show and was blown away.

I started to question a lot of things about reality. This curiosity became a quest to understand the world, and how we can progress as a civilisation.

Over time, this led me to a conviction: making AI work in the real world is the limiting factor to moving humanity up the Kardashev scale. In my free time, I immersed myself in physical AI papers and talked to roboticists in my network to understand the field better, and along the way built a robotics testing simulator.

I currently lead the global strategic initiatives of a €3.5B European quantum company. Previously, I worked at the Council of the EU and Google, as well as for the CEO of BCG and for Emmanuel Macron.

As a serial tech entrepreneur who sees failure as a form of progress, I previously founded and led ELOQUIUM (unofficial EU debate club in Brussels), Mêtis[X] (European tech think-tank), BCG X Factory (deep tech platform) and Voltaire Advisory (advisory for high-profile tech CEOs). I also built and ran a 20-person R&D team to ship a patent-pending, simulation-based quantum AI.

I am a former Clarendon Scholar at the University of Oxford and love working at the frontier of research, where disciplines collide.

Coming from a French-Italian-Polish family in the South of France, I feel European at the core and love Europe. I am also into music jams (my parents are both musicians), languages (speak 5 of them), skiing in the Alps (falling mostly) and competitive dancing (former world champion).
