New year, New project!

New year, New project!

In the 25+ years I've been working I've experienced many different forms of work: part-time, full-time, contract, salaried and self-employed created CinqC in 2016. I've worked with large international organisations, small companies, startups, foundations and accelerators, all whilst continuing my volunteer work with APOPO HeroRATs. Now, in 2020, I'm kicking off a new venture and I'm excited to finally be able to share this news with you!

Over a year ago Benoit came to me with an idea and asked if I'd like to help make it a reality, I did. So today I announce that, whilst continuing to evolve CinqC and support APOPO's life-saving work, I am a proud co-founder of indust.ai, an independent AI R&D lab supporting mid-sized companies in industries across Europe. 

My fellow founders are Benoit Bergeret (CEO), Raphael Bellec (Technology), Sebastien Toth (Research), and Mr X (Engineering) - his identity will be revealed when he terminates his current contract - and we are grateful to have the unwavering support of Keith Bortoluzzi and the Uncharted Technologies team, and Louis de Montalembert (Pleiade Asset Management). I'll be responsible for Operations & Ecosystem, drawing on my experience as head of IT & Innovation at NY Times International, and the strategic & partnerships expertise that has been core to my career since it's very beginning. 

So in the coming months expect to hear me talking about my work with CinqC, APOPO, and indust.ai - 2020 is going to be exciting! Drop me a line if you'd like to learn more - let's use this as an opportunity to grab a coffee or set up a call and catch up properly on your news too.
