AI Transformation Advisor & Fractional CAIO

From the boardroom to the code: AI strategy, autonomous agents and adoption at scale.

About Me

Former Digital General Director of Groupe NRJ, 7 years defining and steering the digital transformation of one of France's leading media companies. Today I put that C-suite experience at the service of organizations going through the AI revolution. With one difference: I build the solutions myself.

I teach generative AI at INA Campus and work with companies on three levels: strategy with the leadership team, team training, deployment of agents and workflows. No PowerPoint without follow-through, no proof-of-concept left in a drawer.

Proof by example: since 2023 I have been developing La-Radio.AI, a 100% automated web radio driven by AI, from editorial selection to the presenters' voices, without daily human intervention. My living laboratory for testing every new capability before integrating it for my clients.

My Work

I work with organizations on three complementary levels, because strategy without execution is just a PowerPoint, and execution without strategy is just a gadget.

AI advisory & strategy

Defining the AI roadmap with the leadership team

I work alongside executive committees to define their AI strategy: identification of high-impact use cases, prioritization, governance, technology choices. My background as a former Digital General Director lets me speak the same language as decision-makers and translate technical possibilities into concrete business objectives.

  • Roadmap and prioritization of initiatives
  • Executive committee support

AI agent & workflow development

Building the solutions that prove the value

I design and deploy concrete AI architectures: autonomous agents, multi-step pipelines, RAG, N8N automations, voice interfaces. No subcontracting, I build them myself.

Proof by example: La-Radio.AI

Since 2023 I have been developing a 100% automated web radio driven by AI. Editorial content generation, emotional voice synthesis, autonomous programming and broadcasting without daily human intervention. This living laboratory lets me test every new generative AI capability before integrating it for my clients.

  • AI agents and multi-agent pipelines (N8N, Claude, Modal.com)
  • RAG and intelligent knowledge bases
  • Voice interfaces (ElevenLabs, IndexTTS)
  • Business workflow automation

Built with AI

AI productions that prove the method: autonomous agents, persistent memory, real production deployment.

AI web radio

La Radio.AI 🎙️

A radio that runs without humans: editorial selection, AI voices, jingles, transitions — everything is generated and orchestrated by agents. It is my R&D tool for agent orchestration and AI architecture.
