Currently Head of AI at ENGIE where I use Deep/Machine Learning to help the zero-carbon energy transition. I have a PhD from the MIT Media Lab where I founded and led International Initiatives programs to empower organizations and communities around the world to innovate and build solutions to solve their own problems through design thinking and lean startup approaches and methods. I co-founded two startups in applied AI in the Bay Area, a.k.a. Silicon Valley. In my previous professional life, I investigated how to help machines understand, generate, and mediate music/sound/speech, wrote software, and built electronic musical instruments. In my dream life, I'd be a DJ by night and a ski bum by day. In Paris right now; I have two globetrotting daughters.
