Senior🎓
Top SchoolGilles Cornec is a data product professional dedicated to applying machine learning to climate risk and sustainable agriculture, currently leading data and product initiatives at AXA Climate in Paris. Over nine years, he has built end-to-end data products—from model development to field-level satellite analytics—that scale insurance coverage from 8,000 to 75,000 hectares and reduce basis risk for farmers. He co-developed the emergence insurance product with Béssé, expanding crop coverage to oilseed rape, barley, and cover crops, using 10m-pixel satellite imagery for granular assessment. His background spans hands-on ML, data engineering, and education, including teaching ML at ENSAE ParisTech and leading data/IA training at Simplon.co for Microsoft’s Ecole IA program. He holds MScs in AI/ML and DeepTech from top French schools (École Polytechnique, HEC Paris), and has pursued entrepreneurship programs at UC Berkeley, reflecting a blend of technical depth and business acumen. Based in Paris, he combines researcher-like curiosity with product-focused execution to turn data into practical climate solutions.
