Biography

Self-taught since his teens and a graduate of Sciences Po Paris and the Université du Québec à Montréal, Stéphane Mallard has spent more than ten years decoding the disruptions brought about by artificial intelligence.

He saw the wave coming

As early as 2015, he was predicting the arrival of AI assistants, and later that of autonomous agents. In 2018, his best-seller Disruption was already anticipating the transformation of professions, the automation of expertise and the challenge to traditional models. What he described yesterday has become today’s reality.

A message that stands out

Stéphane Mallard does not simply explain ChatGPT or productivity gains. He deconstructs received wisdom, connects technology, business and society, and pushes executives to think differently.

Close to 800 talks, 19 countries

Since his first talks to executive committees at the age of 25, he has worked with hundreds of organisations in banking, insurance, industry, luxury, tech, healthcare and consulting. He knows how to read a room, adapt in real time and connect his message to the client’s challenges.

Tailor-made, never off-the-shelf

Whether for an eight-person executive committee or a 500-employee convention, every talk is designed for the audience, the sector and its level of AI maturity. No one-size-fits-all talks.

A stage presence that leaves its mark

Without notes, with pace, humour and provocation, Stéphane Mallard challenges, unsettles and gets people thinking. You don’t just leave better informed: you leave with a different way of seeing things.

The future does not wait: it is built now.
