Perspective
Digital and GenAI credentials
Thomas Mathieu works at the intersection of SaaS product, customer data and visibility in search engines as well as AI assistants. His experience as a company leader lets him assess a GenAI project beyond the technical demo, by looking at the user problem it addresses, its business model, its ability to execute and its adoption. His involvement in the Nantes ecosystem rounds out this view with first-hand knowledge of the earliest stages of building a startup.
