Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Recognized voice on how AI is reshaping media, with expertise spanning technology, content, and newsroom leadership. I draw on my experience in AI and journalism (Hugging Face, CBC/Radio-Canada, Le Devoir...) to help international news organizations build AI products, while supporting journalists and creators in developing AI skills. I make AI accessible by cutting through the hype and translating the latest developments into practical applications. I’ve fostered a global journalist community around open-source AI, been featured as an expert in international publications, and am regularly invited to speak at industry events and lead workshops at universities including Columbia, Northwestern, LSE, Oxford, and CUNY. With deep AI expertise and 15+ years managing newsroom digital transformations, I’ve driven innovation, launched new products, and delivered strong growth — while shaping how technology transforms creative work and the future of trusted information.
