About Dominique

Would you like to launch or accelerate your Artificial Intelligence projects while securing their value creation and their eligibility for innovation schemes (CIR, CII, France 2030, BPI aid)?

I support companies, consulting firms, SMEs, mid-sized companies, and large corporations in defining, designing, and deploying innovative projects with a strong AI component.

For over 20 years, I have been working at the intersection of three complementary fields:

Innovation and organizational transformation

My goal is to transform the opportunities offered by AI into concrete, industrializable, and value-creating solutions.
