Founder & CEO — INNOVA Intelligent Technologies

After building Robotics Kids Academy in France for over 8 years — where more than 5,800 learners were supported in programming, robotics and artificial intelligence — she founded INNOVA Intelligent Technologies in Qatar with a clear ambition: to support organizations in their transformation through innovation, technology and skills development.

She is also the founder of Logistics Conciergerie & Security, a company specialized in security technologies, intelligent video surveillance and risk management — strengthening her expertise in secure environments and cybersecurity.

Specialized in the leadership and pedagogical and digital transformation of educational organizations, she now develops a global approach combining AI, pedagogical innovation, cybersecurity and leadership to support schools, companies and institutions in their transformation projects.

“I am convinced that innovation must remain at the service of people. My ambition is to help organizations turn today’s technologies into lasting opportunities for tomorrow.”
