Poker

Ten years among the 4% of professional players who win over the long run. The French national team, a 5th place at the World Championships, and more than two million hands played at the highest level: a daily laboratory of decision-making under uncertainty.

2

Business

Fifteen years of entrepreneurship in parallel: several co-founded companies, up to 70 people led and 200,000 users served, before a sale to a large group. The same principles as at the table: decide fast, under pressure, with limited information, and bring others along.

AI

Today he leads a transformation consulting practice and works with executives and teams on artificial intelligence: AI culture, tooling, process redesign and change management. His keynotes and workshops combine storytelling, live experiments with the audience, and methods teams can apply straight away.

Legitimacy

Why would a poker player talk to you about business transformation?

I played more than two million hands, won several million euros, represented my country. Then I founded a startup, and knew both wins and losses.

I lived through hypergrowth, led up to 70 people, served 200,000 paying users, and sold to a large group.

Poker, business, the principles are the same: decide fast, with little information, under pressure.
