About
Today · Apolownia
Building the business.
Connecting the whole system.
At Apolownia, I work across carbon project development, deal structuring, partnerships and operations. AI runs through every part of that work: designing processes, organising documentation, automating workflows, building apps and platforms, and supporting scientific research and analysis.
From fieldwork to financing, I connect the commercial, technical and operational pieces so the business can do more.

Alongside · Acelandir
Growth strategy. AI in practice.
Through Acelandir, I help B2B founders sharpen their go-to-market and bring AI into everyday work: connected tools, shared company knowledge, and processes their teams can actually use.
Make complex systems useful.
Then help them scale.
Previously · Cantoo
As CEO, I built a telecom-as-a-service platform that brought the flexibility of the web to telecom infrastructure, making complex networks accessible through products and APIs.
Before that · Legos
I helped scale a telecom business and opened its Asian hub as regional director. That experience is part of a decade in critical infrastructure that shaped how I build products and businesses today.

Protect your time. Strategy starts with what you leave out.

Build the system. Growth should be repeatable.
- 03
Make technology useful. Better tools should mean better outcomes.
- 04
Make restoration viable. Climate impact needs sound economics.
Off the clock
Time outdoors keeps me grounded. Surfing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, foiling, or simply getting outside: I need that connection to the world beyond a screen.
International at heart, curious by nature. Four years in Singapore, Barcelona since 2021, French roots and three languages. I like exploring unfamiliar places, meeting people, and experiencing how life works elsewhere.
