About Axel

With 20 years of experience in the digital ecosystem, my career has been built at the intersection of technical performance and collective intelligence.

🤝Management & Agile Transformation
For over 15 years, I have been supporting companies (SMEs, mid-cap companies, and large groups) in their organizational changes. As an agility expert, I help leaders and managers align their innovation strategy with the human factor. My mission is to remove barriers to change to transform technological disruptions into growth opportunities.

🚀Technical Expertise & Engineering
A former developer and technical director, I have a deep mastery of information system architectures. Today, I translate this expertise into the deployment of concrete Artificial Intelligence solutions: design of RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, deployment of sovereign chatbots, automation via intelligent agents, and integration of no-code/low-code tools.

🧠My Vision of AI
I advocate for pragmatic and responsible AI. My approach is not limited to the tool: it includes maturity assessment, team training (acculturation), and managerial coaching to ensure that AI truly serves business value without dehumanizing the organization.

**My areas of intervention**:
  • **Audit & Consulting**: Strategic scoping of AI projects and identification of high-ROI use cases.
  • **Implementation**: Creation of MVPs, development of customized AI solutions, and secure integration into your IS.
  • **Change Management**: Strategic seminars, coaching of "augmented" managers, and AI adoption plans.
  • **Training**: Tailor-made programs (AI Era Management Certification, Prompt Engineering, ethics & security, AI tools by profession).
