Analytia S.A.S.
In 2025 I founded Analytia S.A.S. to turn years of research and industry experience into B2B data and AI services. Today I am fully focused on taking it to the next level.
Analytia carries the same discipline behind peer-reviewed research and production AI at Mercado Libre, Mastercard, and BBVA into business projects: rigorous methods, measurable results, and models built to be used. Now the focus is clear: grow it into a trusted B2B partner.
