From the operating theatre to innovation.
I care for patients, operate, teach and build. One thread runs through it all: reconciling care and innovation without ever sacrificing the human dimension. Here is how I got here, and why.
Technology is neither decoration nor a slogan. It will never replace a good surgeon. Used well, it makes care more precise, better explained and more human.
A calling forged in rigor.
It all began far from the operating theatre. I began my medical studies in Lyon.
There, I learned medicine, but also strategy, composure and how to make decisions when everything moves fast. I discovered a way of thinking there that has never left me: act quickly, without ever compromising on precision.
Back in Paris, I chose oral surgery. Stomatology is first and foremost medicine: ten years of study, the whole body before the mouth. It was exactly what I was looking for: a profession in which you operate with your hands and think like a doctor.

“Why not us?”
The turning point came at a conference. I was told about artificial intelligence applied to medical imaging. I saw teams building tools that genuinely help clinicians, and one simple question became unavoidable: why not us?
Why do healthcare professionals watch innovation go by instead of building it? I could not let the question go. I supervised a thesis on AI in imaging, annotated thousands of images to train algorithms, and learned the language of engineers without ever abandoning that of patients. Technology stopped being a distant subject: it became a tool I wanted to master, not merely endure.

I almost stopped everything. I chose to build.
I will be honest: I almost stopped everything. Not because I loved the profession any less, but because I no longer recognised myself in it. Care is beautiful and exhausting. The profession is precious, yet undervalued.
Too many brilliant healthcare professionals burn out or leave. I did not want to leave. I wanted to build. Rather than endure a system, I wanted to open a door in it: keep caring for my patients at the practice, and give healthcare professionals the means to have a say in the innovation that concerns them. That is how my two other professions were born.
