Philippe GOUDAL

I am a visionary leader in digital innovation and AI strategy with over 20 years of experience bridging business and technology across energy, mobility, SaaS, and smart infrastructure. I specialize in turning emerging AI/GenAI and EdgeAI technologies into measurable business value through pragmatic roadmaps and scaled delivery.

I have led R&D, innovation programs and ecosystem-building initiatives, managed EU research projects and coordinated high-impact partnerships with startups, industrial actors and global tech providers. I excel at designing AI/ML proofs-of-concept, launching MVPs and enabling go-to-market through partner channels.

As Director of Strategic Partnerships and Innovation Director, I built partner ecosystems, drove indirect sales and integrated platform strategies that supported utility-scale and smart infrastructure projects. I coach leadership teams, evangelize AI across organizations and help embed governance, regulatory compliance and ethical considerations into AI deployments.

I am collaborative, change-oriented and focused on practical outcomes: creating co-innovation programs, consortium coordination and delivering technology-enabled business growth. I seek roles where I can lead strategic alliances, scale AI solutions and mentor teams to accelerate digital transformation.
