i got here by being lazy.

or so i thought. when i was younger, if something felt repetitive or unnecessarily complicated, i refused to accept it — i looked for another way. faster, cleaner, smarter. i used to call it laziness. eventually i understood it was something else: i cannot stand inefficient work.

first it was easier. then faster. then better. now optimal.

that obsession led me to marketing — statistics, performance, trade, b2b — years learning to measure, to optimize, to find technology nobody was using yet because the alternative was doing things slowly. when ai arrived, that instinct was already sharp. it was not a strategic decision. it was inevitable.

what ai gave me was not a new specialty. it was the capacity to build. workflows that catch the problem before it surfaces. systems that handle repetitive work without supervision. automation that replaces a process nobody had documented. things that used to require a full technical team, i now scope, build, and deploy — and then stay to measure whether they actually changed anything. ai did not turn me into a different person — it multiplied what i already was.

and what i see when i walk into a company is always the same: work that could be done better — and nobody has looked for how. data in chaos, a crm nobody is maintaining, processes that live in someone's head, knowledge that does not travel between teams. they want ai to fix it. ai does not fix it. it exposes it.

so that is where i start. order first. automation next. intelligence on top, only where it creates real leverage.

sometimes the answer is ai. sometimes it is automation. sometimes it is simply organizing what nobody had organized.

today i work as head of ai solutions at ai compass. thierry built the company around the same obsession — that ai has to work inside real operations, not above them. the team multiplies what i can do alone.

knowing which answer is right — and having the people to build it — that is the work i find worth doing.

if any of that resonates — or if you disagree with it — say hello.
