What Guillaume brings to Certo

3 reasons Guillaume makes Certo stronger

Guillaume is a CentraleSupélec engineer who has spent more than ten years building SaaS and AI products. He was CTO of CommoPrices, a commodity price platform acquired by Réussir-Agra in 2018, and later co-founded Cockpit as CPTO, building a sales-training bot and an AI video transcription tool.

He has also built AI for the French state: predicting fire and road emergencies for the Ministry of the Interior, and building PIAF at Etalab, a native French question-answering dataset published at LREC 2020. Before Certo he was a senior engineer at Twenty (YC23), the open-source CRM, working on Gmail and Microsoft mail and calendar integrations.
