Sylvain Saby ^{Top-Executive}

I build high-performing engineering organizations: raising the bar on talent, upgrading architecture, and streamlining delivery. Increasingly, that means leveraging AI-augmented workflows to multiply what good teams can achieve. I consistently improve delivery throughput while reducing costs, at Back Market, Decathlon, and Aqemia. I have 10+ years shipping ML into real products: recommendation engines at Dailymotion, data-driven merchant features at Back Market, industrialized drug discovery pipelines at Aqemia. I've led multiple platform modernizations at scale, at BlaBlaCar, Back Market, and Dailymotion, choosing the right patterns for the right stage, not the trendiest stack. And I'm actively building the AI-augmented engineering playbook: spec-driven development, custom tooling, AI agents to amplify what teams deliver. I'm a pragmatic builder. Ambitious vision only works when grounded in operational reality: lean processes, autonomous teams, and relentless focus on outcomes over output. Currently VP Engineering at Aqemia, a Deep Tech company leveraging GenAI and Quantum Physics for drug discovery.
