About Claude
Hello, my name is Claude, and I am originally from France. I’ve lived and worked in the U.S. for most of my career, and I’ve spent much of that time working in strategy, growth, partnerships, and innovation in the technology field. I’m curious by nature and I love learning new things. Technology, and more specifically ML and AI in recent years, has been a big part of that journey. I’ve developed a strong working knowledge of generative and agentic AI through formal education, self-teaching, and a lot of hands-on experimentation. I really enjoy figuring out how technology can be applied in practical ways. Outside of work, I have been doing triathlon for over 10 years, competing all the way to world championship level. Triathlon has taught me a lot about setting goals, staying disciplined, adapting when things don’t go as planned, and always looking for ways to improve. I enjoy meeting and helping people who are figuring out what’s next, whether that’s growing a business, developing a new opportunity, navigating a career change, or figuring out how AI can help them. And since I’m from France, I’m always happy to help with a little French along the way!
Why do I coach?
My parents were teachers and professors, so I grew up in a coaching and learning environment. Helping people learn, grow, and figure things out has always felt very natural to me. Throughout my career, I’ve also benefited from great mentors and people who challenged my thinking. I enjoy doing the same for others, whether they are trying to navigate a career decision, grow a business, develop a new idea, or simply figure out what comes next. For me, coaching is about listening, asking good questions, sharing perspective, and helping people move forward with more clarity and confidence.
