Profile

Behind ALGS: Alexandre Gilles.

Change management and product ownership in banking, energy and insurance, now applied to AI. Open to freelance missions and permanent roles.

I spent seven years in IT transformation, at Avanade (Accenture × Microsoft) and Crédit Agricole CIB, as Change Manager and Product Owner.

Since 2023 I have run my own business, with full ownership of product, sales and delivery. I build with AI coding agents every day.

ALGS brings the two together: getting teams to adopt AI, and measuring whether it helps.
