The person behind Meridian
Engineer. Program leader. AI transformation practitioner.
From production lines to transformation
I started my career as a process engineer in France, inside pharmaceutical production. Over the next eleven years I moved through project management, product ownership, and program leadership across multiple countries. Most of that time was spent at Novo Nordisk, scaling digital and AI solutions across global production environments.
Along the way, my team received an Innovation Award for delivering a digital solution that scaled across more than 100 production lines. Later, I was part of the leadership group that scoped an AI Alliance with Microsoft, defining how scalable AI solutions could work inside complex production environments. I built and led a global Computer Vision AI programme from its first concept through to a multi-team operation with Microsoft and Siemens as technology partners.
But the most important thing I learned didn't come from the technology. It came from watching what happened when we tried to scale it. Even before the AI programs, when we were scaling digital products, I saw the same pattern: the technology worked, but the human side of the change was always underestimated. People weren't always brought along as needed. Leaders (formal or informal) sometimes weren't equipped to model the new ways of working. Workflows sometimes stayed the same even when the tools changed.
When AI entered the picture, those challenges became even more acute. AI doesn't just change the tools. It changes the nature of the work itself. And that requires a fundamentally different approach to transformation.
That's why Meridian exists.
AI's greatest gift may be forcing humanity to rediscover what makes us human.
HumanAI: the conviction behind the work
Every Meridian engagement is grounded in a philosophy we call HumanAI. The conviction is simple: AI transformation done well makes organisations more capable and more human at the same time. Not one at the cost of the other.
Human-first, at Meridian, means something specific. It means augmentation over replacement. Leaders as role models. Structured change management that treats people as capable of growth, not as obstacles to progress. And it means giving existing teams the opportunity, tools, and training to evolve before significant structural decisions are made.
This isn't only an ethical conviction, it is the stronger long-term business strategy. The organisations that will thrive in the AI era are the ones that invest in their people, not despite AI, but because of it.

How Meridian is built
Meridian is founder-led by design, because the quality of transformation work depends on the experience and conviction of the person leading it. But founder-led doesn't mean working alone.
Meridian is supported by a network of senior advisors and partners spanning AI architecture, life sciences, and business development across Sweden, Denmark, Spain, and Brazil. This allows us to bring the right expertise to each engagement without maintaining a large fixed team, keeping the work focused, the overhead low, and the quality high.
It's a model built for the kind of work we do: deep, high-trust engagements where the people matter as much as the methodology.
