ecutive leader and entrepreneur in AI, innovation, and digital transformation, with more than 30 years of international experience across deep tech, industrial systems, and data-driven businesses. I am Founder & CEO of ApexTransform, where I advise C-suite executives, public institutions, and technology leaders on how to design, scale, and govern AI-driven transformation with measurable impact. My work focuses on turning emerging technologies - AI, data platforms, IoT, and embedded intelligence - into sustainable business models, trusted systems, and long-term competitive advantage. Previously, as Executive VP at Lacroix Group, I led large-scale innovation and AI strategies, created new data and AI business units, and built global partnerships with companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Orange, generating significant recurring revenue growth. I have also held senior executive and leadership roles at Freescale/NXP, Infineon Technologies, STMicroelectronics, and Thales ecosystem partners. What drives me is bridging strategy, innovation, and execution: helping organizations move from experimentation to industrial-scale AI, aligning innovation with governance, regulation, and trust. I believe AI is not just a technology shift, but a leadership challenge - one that requires vision, discipline, and ecosystem collaboration to unlock its full value responsibly.
