About Thibault

I support executives, investors, and funds in evaluating the technical, product, and AI robustness of their digital assets.

CTO as a Service for over 5 years, I conduct comprehensive technical, AI, and product audits to measure the real value, scalability, and technological maturity of a digital product.

My approach combines deep technical analysis, strategic product reading, and understanding of AI challenges – whether it involves internal models, API integrations (OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, etc.), or automation tools (RAG, agents, ML pipelines).


💼 Areas of intervention:
• Technical and AI due diligence before acquisition or fundraising
• Software & AI architecture audit (code quality, technical debt, scalability)
• AI / Data stack evaluation (ML pipelines, RAG, LLM integrations)
• Analysis of tech processes and teams (governance, delivery, organization)
• Post-audit support / CTO as a Service
• Strategy for integrating AI into existing products or MVPs


🚀 References:
• +10 years of experience in product & technical leadership
• Founder and CEO of Digital Product Studio
• Interventions for innovative SMEs and investment funds
• Expert in structuring AI products and their evaluation during due diligence


🧩 Typical mission:
• Tech & AI due diligence for VC or M&A funds
• Digital product audit before fundraising or acquisition
• Technical & product evaluation of an MVP or an AI platform
• Team review and strategic post-investment support
• Assistance in AI transformation of an existing product


Approach: pragmatic, structured, and decision-oriented.
Each mission concludes with a prioritized and actionable summary, tailored to the audience (executives, investors, technical teams).
