ABOUT

Leading AI at scale. Building it myself.

I'm an AI leader with 13 years of experience building AI products, shaping enterprise AI operating models and leading cross-functional delivery across defence, public services, retail and financial services. Since 2023 I head the AI Factory at Devoteam, where internal platform development, client delivery and workforce enablement come together.

I started in digital banking in Casablanca, then moved to Paris to work on AI products at Carrefour, Fujitsu and AXA. Along the way I trained in machine learning at Stanford and in AI product management at Duke. Today I lead the NOVA Suite, our agentic platform used by 3,000+ people, and I've trained 1,500+ professionals in generative AI, agentic AI and RAG.

I also build on my own: TrustRail, MedGuard AI, M3aya Santé and the TRAIL Academy learning platform I founded. I share what I learn in four books and on stage, including Google Cloud Summit and AICamp. I focus on agentic AI, responsible deployment and measurable business adoption.
