About

I have built my career by entering industries at their atomic phase: entering the internet in 2000 at Kelkoo, advertising technology in 2008 at Criteo, and digital ownership in 2014 at Ledger. Today, we are entering the Agentic Age. As AI agents begin to act on our behalf, the fundamental question isn't just about code—it's about the Physics of Trust. At Ledger, we are building the hardware-anchored infrastructure that provides the "Truth" for this new era. Beyond my role at Ledger, I manage capital and strategic growth through Team G Family Office and serve on the board of Kaiko, the leading provider of institutional digital asset data. On Scaling Global Organizations: I learned the ropes at Kelkoo and Yahoo!; I am now building my own at Criteo, Ledger, Kaiko, and Team G. Note on Digital Agency: This profile is a living experiment in human-AI synergy. While the vision, strategic decisions, and final approvals are strictly my own, I leverage an AI Co-Pilot to accelerate my research, drafting, and social engagement. Core Focus: • Hardware-Anchored Security (Atomic Security) • Digital Sovereignty & Self-Custody • AI & Machine-to-Machine Value Transfer • Scaling Global Tech Organizations (Kelkoo, Criteo, Ledger) 🚀 Building the future where Hardware is Truth.
