Bio

As our CTO, Philippe leads a team of talented developers and engineers in building our AI-powered tool Ninja. With this proprietary software, we are able to dynamically follow and analyze a database of 2M companies (for dealflow, DD or competitive intelligence purposes). A serial entrepreneur with a passion for optimizing big data search algorithms, Philippe founded and led both Evercontact (a service that automatically keeps your address book and your CRM up-to-date) and Sinequa (a Gartner and Forrester leader in enterprise search). He is inventor or co-inventor of two issued patents on NLP and AI. Philippe shares his time between San Francisco and Paris, and in August you would generally find him kite-surfing around Île de Houat. He is also a published author (“Winter is NOT coming,” a book on Games of Thrones and Management). He graduated from Telecom Paris Tech and holds a PhD in AI and NLP. Philippe is currently a board member of Sinequa.
