Founder · Advisory · Paris

Enterprise advisory at the intersection of mobile apps, user experience, CRM and omnichannel activation.

Founded in December 2021 to serve enterprise clients with expertise across mobile apps, CRM and omnichannel customer experience.

Engagements include mobile app audits, review and revamp of user journeys across digital touchpoints, new-business and partnership consultancy, customer-success practice design, re-engineering support and business-intelligence advice.

Work is delivered as an engagement rather than a licence: assessment, a written recommendation, then hands-on support through selection and delivery with the client's own teams and vendors.

The practice is built around the integration decisions enterprises make late and by whoever is available — identity, consent, event data, orchestration — taken early instead, in the open, with the commercial consequence stated.

Two strands, twenty years apart

Digital assets · since 2025

Software-Defined Money

How assets, rails, and markets converge on one programmable stack, and who ends up controlling each layer.

A map of the stack as it stands — from assets, chains and settlement to payment networks, institutional plumbing, tokenized funds, market data, onchain credit and the venues where the two worlds meet. Twenty-three chapters in nine parts; seventy-seven companies, named and placed.

Released Fall 2026 · Aequus Money · First edition, 2026
Ubiquitous computing · 2002 — 2007

Management and Deployment of Ubiquitous Computing Environment

M.Sc. Industrial Engineering, Oregon State University — June 7, 2006

The research addresses the challenge of designing, deploying and maintaining ubiquitous computing environments, where devices and services are seamlessly integrated into everyday life. It argues that successful Ubicomp design requires a multidisciplinary framework going beyond technology — incorporating social, legal and economic perspectives to improve user experience.
