🌟 Meet Aske van der Werff, Customer Success Senior Director at Descartes & Mauss! With 25 years of experience in FMCG, including roles with Unilever and Danone, Aske joined D&M to tackle a challenge that would last a lifetime. 🔹 After years in Consumer & Market Insights (CMI) for renowned brands, she saw in Maurice NDiaye's vision of quantifying the future an opportunity to drive truly agile, data-driven decision-making—something she'd long dreamed of building. 🔹 As she shares: “Maurice's vision of quantifying the future to help decision-making and make companies more agile was something I had been looking for as a CMI professional for a very long time. The thought of being able to develop that was a dream come true. And now, three and a half years later, that dream has become a reality.” Aske’s journey with us is a testament to our shared mission to redefine strategic foresight and bring long-lasting value to our clients. 🚀✨ #MeetOurTeam #CustomerSuccess #Leadership #AIForGood #FutureOfStrategy #StrategicForesight #DataDriven #InnovationInAction #CMI #FMCG #Unilever #Danone #stratech

🎙️ Our CEO, Maurice NDiaye N'Diaye, recently appeared on BFM Business to share his thoughts on AI! During the interview, Maurice addressed a crucial point: AI is a powerful, transformative technology, yet the broader societal discussion around its purpose and impact is still missing. 👉 “Today, there’s confusion despite the concrete applications of AI. We need to have a real debate on the collective project we want to build with AI.” 💡 While fear and anxiety often surround discussions about AI, Maurice emphasized that the idea of AI leading to a ‘grand replacement’ is misleading. Instead, like any transformative technology, AI will reshape industries and create new opportunities. He used an analogy to illustrate: “When computers arrived, accountants went on strike, yet today, we’ve never had more accountants than we do now. Jobs reinvent themselves. The key is to understand how and where to reinvest productivity gains to build a more sustainable future.” 🌍 🔍 At Descartes & Mauss, this is exactly where our mission lies: developing AI that preserves resources and limits waste by guiding decision-makers to focus on the right priorities. We believe in AI that serves a positive purpose, aligns with societal needs, and supports the well-being of people and organizations alike.  Book a demo to discover how our AI solutions can transform your decision-making: https://lnkd.in/ghEpvHfw                                                                                      #AI #Leadership #BFMBusiness #TechForGood #AITransformation #PurposeDrivenAI #Innovation #Descartesandmauss

🎉 Proud moment for Descartes & Mauss! Our CEO Maurice NDiaye has launched his book about giving meaning to Artificial intelligence 📖💡   The book launch event at Le Georges, above the Centre Pompidou, wasn’t just a celebration of Maurice’s work but an opportunity to explore the purpose of AI in today’s world. The book challenges us to ask: What role do we want AI to play in shaping our future? 🔍 In a world increasingly driven by data and automation, Maurice’s book encourages us to think beyond optimization and productivity. It asks the bigger questions: What decisions are we comfortable transferring to AI? How do we ensure that AI serves a purpose that benefits society as a whole? 📊 With nearly $300 billion expected to be invested in AI globally by 2026, this is the conversation we all need to have. And we couldn’t be prouder to have Maurice at the forefront, sparking these discussions.
