I lead the data science team behind Monopoly GO — one of the highest-grossing mobile games ever made. Before that: industrial engineer in France, led a supply chain team in Shanghai, retail analytics in Hong Kong, an ERP transformation in London, then data science in a French bank. The through-line is that I like problems nobody has defined yet.
At Scopely I've spent four years building a data science function as much as running one. Matchmaking and game-economy simulation are now capabilities other teams rely on, and Players Profiler — a cross-team segmentation framework I proposed, got funded and now lead — is one of the bigger things on our 2026 roadmap. I also like planting ideas in teams I don't run: a social-dynamics initiative running elsewhere in the organisation started as a case I kept making until the Leads there took it on. Lately I've been building AI tooling as an internal product — for my own team, and for teams outside it.
I've worked with people in France, the UK, China, Hong Kong, India, Bangladesh, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the US, and I've learned more from that than from any course. I've built on an industrial engineering background with an MBA, a data science toolkit, and a stubborn entrepreneurial streak.
I also care what the work is for. I co-founded GoodShifter, an app that rates groceries across 21 health, environmental and social criteria and suggests better alternatives available in your own supermarket — built because I wanted something I'd actually use.
Most interested in problems that aren't defined yet, and in organisations where scope is earned rather than assigned. Always happy to talk.

LEAD DATA SCIENTIST
Apr 2022 - Aug 2024
PLAYGAMI | SCOPELY | Barcelona | Spain
Central ML platform serving Scopely's game portfolio. I co-led the function after the Director left and wasn't replaced, and spent most of my time on a problem that wasn't in the job description: a platform team was building products without knowing what the games needed. Fixing that produced most of what we shipped — matchmaking, churn intercept, the cost work that paid for itself.
