Alex Combessie is co-founder & co-CEO of Giskard, a testing & protection platform for AI agents. Giskard helps AI and security teams red-team & blue-team their agents against prompt injection, jailbreaks, hallucinations and PII leaks, build domain-specific evals, and run context-aware AI guardrails at inference time. Founded in Paris in 2021 with Jean-Marie John-Mathews (PhD), Giskard used by some of Europe's most regulated enterprises, including AXA, BNP Paribas, Irish Life and Doctolib, to control the operational risks of their GenAI agents. Before Giskard, Alex spent 5 years at Dataiku working on mission-critical AI deployments for large European enterprises. That's where he experienced, up close as a Data Scientist and AI engineer, how AI systems tends to break once it leaves the notebook: silent regressions, hidden security vulnerabilities evals that miss the failures users actually trigger, AI that look fine in development and fall apart in production. This is why he founded Giskard: to ensuring companies can deploy AI with trust.
