Meet Guillaume, Chief Actuary & Co-Founder
Both a data scientist and an actuary, Guillaume started his career in quantitative trading before joining the R&D team at Axa Global Direct, to rethink insurance pricing in the light of the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence.
Guillaume is at the origin of the algorithmic research that led to the creation of Akur8 and leads the R&D to further develop the solution.
