Description

Have you launched AI POCs that fail to go into production?

Are your inference costs skyrocketing? Is your RAG hallucinating? Is your AI Factory unable to scale?

I take on the role of AI Program Director / Chief AI Officer in transition for AI and Data programs that need to move from POC to production – in regulated environments (banking, insurance, asset management) or in M&A / scale-up contexts.

Five rarely combined capabilities:

🎯 AI Agents & LLMOps — agentic architectures, multi-index RAG, MCP, model routing, guardrails, AI Workforces deployed in production (60+ agents, Neo4j + pgvector)

💰 FinOps for AI — mastering inference costs, production gate conditioned on ROI, co-construction of AI P&L with finance department (e.g., BlackRock, -90% inference cost reduction vs. frontier-only)

🏛️ AI Governance, Risk & Security — AI Act, DORA, CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001, former ministerial cyber defense, former Accenture Cyber lead — I unlock AI programs stuck in compliance

🧩 Enterprise Data Foundations — data hub, MDM, streaming, data lineage, DAMA-DMBOK (e.g., Pacifica — creation of CDO function, group's 1st P&C data hub)

🚀 Large-scale Industrialization — AI-augmented CI/CD, MLOps, hallucination/drift monitoring, guardrails (33 rules)

Recent missions 2025-2026:

• BlackRock London (via EY) — AI Value & Delivery, TTM ÷3, 60% POCs stopped

• valueo — AI Transformation of the Target Operating Model, agentic AI Workforces, scalability ×10

• Crédit Agricole Leasing Factoring — Value Office on a €60M portfolio, -30% rework

• CVO Mission under NDA — industrial pre-cession, SLL, multi-value equity story

CxO Track Record: Allianz (CTPO CRM Cloud Native, 250+ FTE), Munich Re (CTO cyber insurance, ML pipeline 2019), Crédit Agricole Assurances Pacifica (CDO), AXA Investment Managers (€800 Bn AUM, 200,000 MiFID II/UCITS/AIFMD/EMIR REFIT rules), Accenture Consulting (Total, Crédit Agricole, SocGen).
