Pierre Lecointre Top-Executive

I'm currently an AI R&D Manager at AQEMIA, leading a team of top-tier AI Research Scientists building AI models for drug discovery. We develop scalable models for molecular property prediction, binding affinity, and de novo molecule generation — accelerating the shift from data to drug candidates in record time.

With a background across TechBio and ClimateTech startups, I bring dual expertise in AI and scientific modeling, combined with hands-on execution in model development, team building, and strategic scale-up. I’ve contributed to deep tech startups from early stage to growth, bridging the gap between scientific proof-of-concept and productized impact.

Before biotech, I was heading the R&D on climate risks in an insurtech and leading a team of 15 researchers focused on the modeling of climate risks using physics-based and computational methods.

I’m passionate about building and scaling science-driven innovation, with a track record of turning complex R&D into real-world solutions — from planetary systems to human health.
