Three families of talks, tuned to your audience

A leadership team doesn't have the same expectations as a room full of engineers. Every talk is tailored to the audience, the context and the duration.

Audience Executives, leadership teams & staff

Generative AI: revolution, opportunities and limits

Becoming an augmented executive without launching a €500,000 IT project. Your teams leave with 2 to 3 ready-to-use use cases (quotes, tenders, meeting notes, follow-ups, steering), understand the limits (hallucinations, data security, cloned voices), and know how to start small while keeping control of their data.

Formats — 1.5–2h talk + Q&A, panel, club plenary, short format. Recap PDF + email follow-up.

Audience Executives, CIOs & business leaders

Modernizing your IT landscape without a big bang

Aligning processes and IT at SME scale. I transpose to your organization the lessons from a digital platform built at the scale of a large media group: how to structure your IT landscape, modernize the architecture and manage identity (IAM) without breaking everything.

Formats — 45 min–1h keynote, half-day seminar session.
Proof
  • Digital platform, software architecture, IAM and CMS Day for the SIPA / Ouest-France group (2017–2019)
  • “An ambassador of IT within the Sipa/Ouest-France group” — Guy Sauvage, CIO Ouest-France
  • An infrastructure operator today: founder of Netir and France Nuage
Audience Executives & leadership teams

Cybersecurity for executives: deepfakes and cloned voices

Understand the new threats AI now puts within everyone's reach (deepfakes, cloned voices targeting elders and employees, augmented CEO fraud) and the technological dependencies to watch, with no jargon and ready-to-use reflexes for the executive and their team.

Formats — 1h talk or satellite session of the AI keynote.
Proof
  • A proven topic: the “Limits” act of the AI talk already covers data security and cloned voices
  • Co-founder of sovereign AI products: France Nuage (cloud), Natalia (voice AI), Recapro (sales-meeting notes), data under control
Audience Founders, CTOs & product leaders of software companies

From software vendor to platform: scaling internationally

How a software vendor becomes a platform and scales across Europe and beyond, combining three inseparable angles: APIs, developer experience and a vision that is at once technical, product and business. I draw on products I've built and sold worldwide.

Formats — 20–40 min keynote, 1h talk + Q&A, internal vendor / scale-up workshop.
Proof
  • Creator of Image-Charts: image API in production at Arrow, Spotify, Dropbox, Microsoft
  • Co-founder of Hook0: open-source webhooks-as-a-service, used up to Coinbase
  • Co-founder of Cloud-IAM: 70% of revenue international, with public institutions across several states, CAC 40 companies, and European and American multinationals

Every talk comes with a recap PDF and email follow-up. In person: lapel mic and HDMI projector.

Where I speak

Based in La Roche-sur-Yon (Vendée), I primarily speak across Pays de la Loire and western France, and I travel anywhere in the country.

Frequently asked questions

What talk topics do you offer?

Three families: generative AI for executives and leadership teams, architecture and scaling for engineering teams, and IT landscape modernization for business leaders. A security angle (deepfakes, cloned voices) completes the offering.

What formats and durations?

Keynote from 15 to 45 minutes, a 1.5 to 2-hour talk with Q&A, a panel, a club plenary or a short format. Every session comes with a recap PDF and email follow-up.

Do you speak in Vendée and Pays de la Loire?

Yes. I'm based in La Roche-sur-Yon and regularly speak to executives across Vendée and the Loire region (CJD, APM, CPME, chambers of commerce, professional bodies). I travel anywhere in France.

Who is the audience?

Executives, leadership teams, business clubs and professional bodies for AI and digital transformation; developers, architects and ops teams for the technical topics.

How do I book and what's the budget?

A short call is enough to nail down the topic, format and date. The budget depends on the format and travel; I send a quote after the call and sign an NDA if needed.

Are you an AI, digital or emerging-technology speaker?

All three come together in my talks. The through-line is generative AI and its concrete impact on organisations, and I always tie it back to the digital transformation and the emerging technologies behind it: sovereignty, architecture, security. The topic is then tuned to your audience and your sector.

Are you an independent speaker or an AI training firm?

I'm an independent speaker, developer and founder of AI SaaS products. I build and run the very solutions I talk about every day: sovereign cloud, voice AI, sales meeting notes. You deal directly with the person who takes the stage and knows your constraints, from the first call to the follow-up after the talk.

Do you offer an AI acculturation talk for entire teams?

Yes. Beyond leadership teams, I run acculturation talks that introduce generative AI to every employee, whatever their level. I walk them through concrete use cases by role, the limits worth knowing and the first reflexes to adopt. Each team leaves with enough to get started and a recap PDF.

Do your talks cover sovereign AI, GDPR and the AI Act?

Yes, it runs through everything I do. I show how to benefit from generative AI while keeping control of your data: sovereign hosting, GDPR compliance by design and clear markers on the AI Act. I draw on the sovereign solutions I co-found and operate, so it stays grounded in practice.
