Christophe, tell us more about you?
CC: I have been a researcher, I have handled customer projects, handle management roles and now I’m focusing on how to grow Vivoka.
What attracted you to this industry?
CC: I always found that AI and voice AI in particular was something that combines deep technical aspects with the human interaction aspect. That’s something I found fascinating. The combination of mathematics and deep science with the very human factors that are needed to make it successful.
For what reason did you choose Vivoka? What about the new stratetig directions?
CC: I was very appealed by Vivoka, which was a partner of my previous employer, because it’s a new company in a very promising field that has a lot of opportunities to grow, build new solutions and work with smart young people, which is something I’ve always enjoyed doing.
Is there a key leadership that guides your decision-making?
CC: First, i like to look at the problem, listen to the teams, and understand their views. Listen to the customers, understand their needs. Then, make a decision and focus on its execution. Focus on the WHY you need to do something, before you think about the HOW you are going to do it.
To conclude this interview, what technological innovation has impressed you lately?
CC: LLM (Large Language Models). They are not that new, they are 7 years old but they have a major impact with ChatGPT, and that is a technology that will transform many of the things we can do with AI, and we are looking forward to using them and deploying them for our customers at Vivoka.
