Profile
Background
Grégoire de Turckheim is Engineering Manager for AI Inference Products at Scaleway, where he leads the construction of cloud infrastructure and services for artificial intelligence at scale. His scope spans hardware, embedded systems, cloud software, and large language model deployment.
His 14-year career follows one ambition: turning complex technical constraints into usable products. He founded and led Taveo for six years, an electronics design company that developed embedded systems for industry, defense, and space. That hands-on hardware and low-level experience shapes his vision of AI inference today: software cannot perform if it ignores the physics of the silicon running it.
At Scaleway, he structures the managed inference offering: GPU servers, inference engines, orchestration, and a turnkey platform so companies can deploy their models without managing the underlying infrastructure. He supports customers whose workloads range from prototyping to high-volume production.
Grégoire speaks regularly on French and European technical stages to share his vision of AI infrastructure: hardware as a lever, not a constraint, and inference as an engineering product in its own right.
Perspective
Digital and GenAI credentials
Grégoire de Turckheim builds inference as an industrial product: from GPU selection and memory sizing to the managed API the developer calls. At Scaleway, he sees real workloads — training, fine-tuning, continuous inference — and measures what costs, what slows down, and what breaks at scale. That hands-on experience, built on 14 years of product development across hardware, embedded, and cloud, lets him show the concrete levers to make inference hold in production, without marketing promises.
