Back to original languageAbout Matthieu
I am an innovation consultant with a strong background in brainstorming and advising companies on artificial intelligence (AI) related activities. I have also participated in numerous innovation projects for my clients, which allows me to quickly understand the main challenges, obstacles, and actions to implement for everything to run smoothly. Whether you are looking to understand how innovations can help your business create new services and strategies or to better understand current markets (AI, urban air mobility, defense...), I would be delighted to collaborate with you.
I worked for 6 years at IBM and THALES and carried out consulting missions for leading clients such as the European Space Agency, the French Ministry of Defense, Airbus, Crédit Mutuel, and BNP. I am currently the AI lead for two seed-stage startups (including Blast incubation).
Professional Awards:
- IBM Gerstner Award in 2018 for the Strasbourg AI team (Creation of a virtual assistant for Crédit Mutuel - Over 250 intents understood, keyword system, Push to customer advisor)
- Co-winner of the World Airbus Hackathon 2019 (Creation of an AI-powered turbulence detection PoC)
- Winner of the Thales Green Hackathon 2022 (Creation of a digital action plan for the Coral Guardian association)
- Co-founder of the startup Garling, awarded "Pépite Île-de-France", creating innovative handbags
In addition to my consulting services, I can also assist you in creating prompts and using AI tools such as Midjourney or Chat GPT.
Regular communication is very important to me, so please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss future collaborations!
I wish you an excellent day.
Sincerely,
Matthieu VANHILLE
