As CTO and Managing Partner at Jolt, I lead a team of talented developers and engineers in building our AI-powered tool Ninja. With this proprietary software, we are able to dynamically follow and analyze a database of 3M companies (for dealflow, DD or competitive intelligence purposes).I’m a serial entrepreneur with a passion for optimizing big data search algorithms. I founded and led both Evercontact (a service that automatically keeps your address book and your CRM up-to-date, exited in 2016) and Sinequa (a Gartner and Forrester leader in enterprise search, exited in 2024).I share my time between San Francisco and Paris, and in August you would generally find me kite-surfing in Houat. I’m also a published author (“Winter is NOT coming,” a book on Games of Thrones and Management).
