business-first Forward-Deployed Engineer
Tech engineer, years at a tech investment bank, embedded with business teams and their day-to-day workflows. Builds automations and AI agents from that same ground level.
Four years at Avolta Partners, a Paris-based tech investment bank, split 50% M&A execution and 50% fundraising, working directly with founders and investors. That background instilled financial rigor and a business-first read of problems before any technical solution.
For about a year and a half, that rigor now goes into automation and AI agents: building systems that genuinely offload teams, not demos. An engineering background (two master’s degrees, top French engineering schools) complemented by a leading business school: the technical and business lenses both drive the approach.
Recent engagements span operational automation and AI agent builds for teams of varying size and sector, always framed by the same question: what, concretely, frees up leadership time.
