Founding Team Member & Head of Marketing | SEA.AI [ - ] | Maritime Machine Vision Since 2018

Inventor Raphael Biancale wanted to feel safe crossing at night on his father's boat. Co-founder and father Gaëtan Gouerou wanted collision avoidance for offshore racing. I came in to see if we could also save the whales from collision. 😊 8+ years later, we see what radar & AIS can't. Day & night. For all three reasons and more. Our team kept innovating. Our users taught us. Rescue teams seeing people overboard in the dark. Customers preventing expensive or even fatal collisions. Vessels in contested waters detecting floating threats.  Born from real challenges, it solved far more than we imagined. So when we move into maritime security and defence, it's not a strategic pivot. The technology is dual-use by design. It's being honest about what we built. As head of marketing, this isn't simple! Messaging to recreational sailors looks nothing like defence procurement. Assets. Positioning. Everything shifts. But the core truth doesn't: we see what others don't. And that matters everywhere. The mission keeps expanding. So do we!
