Nicolas

International technology leader with 16+ years in IT, having lived and worked across multiple countries. Currently Chief Data & AI Officer at Thales, I hold a Master's in Computer Science and have led the design and delivery of complex Cloud, Data, and AI solutions across In-Flight Entertainment and Connectivity, HR, Retail, Insurance, Air Traffic Management, and Urban Security.

At Thales InFlyt Experience, I lead an engineering team building transformative AI and Data use cases for aircraft passengers and airlines, while empowering employees with AI-driven capabilities. Grounded in cloud platforms and end-to-end architecture, I'm passionate about turning data into business leverage.

My multicultural experience and track record span technical leadership and people management — building high-performing teams, driving innovation, and mentoring staff for success.

Outside work, I still love coding for fun and training for the next marathon.
