About Alain

Doctor of Mathematics, Alain Fuser spent 13 years at ENGIE. Alain began working in the field of data analytics and deep neural networks as early as 2005, notably completing over a hundred projects in a large number of areas (production, sales, marketing, call center, trading, HR, real estate, ...), winning several innovation awards within ENGIE.

Alain founded NEHOOV in mid-2016 in Lyon, to help companies easily access deep learning for prediction or segmentation (clustering in English), and topological data analysis. For 4 years now, he has been helping numerous companies, such as a leader in mass retail, an insurance company in the national top 4, a multinational in the energy sector, but also SMEs and VSEs in the industry, marketing, internet sales, and human resources sectors… Alain has completed over 250 analytical projects in 15 years, including over 50 in the last 4 years.

ALAIN'S STRENGTH, and that of his collaborators? His speed of execution, thanks to fully automated modules! For example: for a client wanting a predictive system, Alain completed the task in SIX MAN-DAYS, while his competitors proposed a workload of 20 to 25 man-days.
