Strategy consultant & startup co-founder.
Seeking an AI Deployment Strategist role in San Francisco.
I help companies enter new markets at Business France and run customer operations at ImageRestoreAI. I use AI every day to analyze customer needs, automate work and build useful tools.
Latest documented work first. Each case study explains the problem, my contribution, the implementation and the result.
Dates show when I worked on each project. Inner Circle V2 is planned for December 2026.
September 2026
A native birthday app
Inner Circle V1
Inner Circle V1 · Private TestFlight beta
I built and tested an iPhone birthday app.
A native app for birthday records, reminders and Calendar sync. I defined the scope, investigated a storage failure and verified that saved records survived a TestFlight update.
Two test birthdays retained after the update to build 4.

A sales workflow inside the CRM
Odoo Lead Enrichment
Odoo + HG Insights Phoenix MCP
I built a lead enrichment and scoring workflow inside Odoo.
Three user interviews shaped a pipeline that finds target companies, enriches their data, scores their fit and sends results into the CRM sales teams already use.
Customer discovery to working demo. Follow-up feedback informed the scoring and launch controls.
I automated support drafts while keeping human review.
As co-founder and COO, I turned recurring support emails into a workflow that classifies requests, gathers customer context and drafts replies for review.
50% less support time reported in my May 2026 case study.
The next version will explore birthday import and cloud storage.
A web companion is planned with sign-in, selected-contact storage and an AI-assisted draft feature. Automatic Facebook birthday retrieval is still a feasibility question.

02 / About me
I’m a strategy consultant and a startup co-founder.
At Business France in San Francisco, I help French startups and scaleups develop their go-to-market strategy in North America. My work involves understanding customer needs, assessing market opportunities and connecting companies with relevant customers and partners.
Alongside consulting, I’m the co-founder and COO of ImageRestoreAI, an AI photo restoration startup. I manage customer operations and use AI every day to analyze feedback, automate recurring work and build tools that improve how we serve customers.
These two roles shape how I approach AI implementation: understand the business problem, define a useful solution, and work through the practical details that make it work for users.
Born and raised in Tahiti, French Polynesia, I studied in France before moving to San Francisco. That international background shapes how I work with people across markets and cultures.

French (native), English, Mandarin (HSK 3) and basic Spanish.

I organize Chicken Run SF, a weekly running club that grew from 7 to 300+ members.
