I coach founders, executives and atypical leaders on power and decision-making. I am neurodivergent myself.
We work on how they decide, how they use their authority and what the role costs them.
A direct first conversation, no questionnaire.
Paris · In person and remote · In French and English
For tech executives, founders and atypical leaders who want to change their relationship to energy, power, decision-making and uncertainty, without condescension.
Interventions in collective settings: tensions between partners, team dynamics, organisational transitions, difficult decisions. A third-party presence that structures without adjudicating.
Targeted interventions where questions of brand, meaning, strategy, data and AI need both clarity and a reading of the whole system.
Open a language, shift representations, provide a map. Create the conditions for deeper work afterwards.
I co-founded Hypios in 2010, then AdQuantic, which Criteo acquired, then Meludia and Seize TV.
I was a senior partner of ARKOS, a consulting firm with €3M in revenue, and sat on its board for thirteen years. I led its sale to Kea & Partners and the integration that followed.
I founded Patarin Co, my coaching and consulting company, in 2022. I completed the INSEAD coaching certificate in 2023.
I build them with a fleet of AI agents organised like an executive committee.
I set the goals and make the decisions. The agents write the specifications, the code and the reviews.
The AI-assisted venture studio I am founding in Paris. The company is being formed. It holds koajing and Mardi matin.
It will also start new companies with co-founders who bring a practice or a subject.
Other projects
An association helping neurodivergent people through technology.
A public-interest project that maps public debate so that each reader can work out a position of their own. The association is being formed.
From 2007 to 2011, at the ENS and at INSEAD, I worked with Dan Sperber on a cognitive-anthropology account of scientific progress.
With Sacha Bourgeois-Gironde, I worked on the origin of supernatural concepts in a cognitive bias, agency detection. With Hilke Plassmann and Etienne Koechlin, I worked on the biological basis of our drive towards money. Mathias Pessiglione chaired the committee for my master's thesis.
My coaching works on the same questions: how people reason, how they decide and what drives them.
A direct first conversation, no questionnaire. For coaching, or to start a venture with Neuroagency.
