THE ADVANTAGES OF THE JOB

Hello everyone, my name is Sébastien, I am a Distinguished Engineer or Senior Engineer, in plain French, in data and artificial intelligence at Société Générale since 2021, which I joined after spending about ten years in a large tech company to take on a new challenge.

If I had to summarize in one sentence. My job is to guide strategic decisions in terms of technology and innovation. Of course, on a daily basis, it is a bit more diversified and no two days are alike. Nevertheless, there are still three main pillars that stand out.

Firstly, it is to define and execute the technical strategy of the Group's data and AI platforms, whether in terms of technology, products, innovation, or construction methods.

Secondly, it is managing the portfolio of projects at the forefront of innovation such as, for example, the implementation of the Société Générale Group's generative AI platform.

And finally, thirdly, participating in the educational and cultural efforts of the business lines to explain to them how data and AI can improve their daily lives.

In my opinion, there are two key skills. The first is curiosity, since we are in a world where technology moves fast and innovates very quickly. The second is boldness, since you also have to be able to think outside the box to create the conditions for change and apply innovation daily.

For several years, I have been coaching and mentoring young technical talents, whether they are developers or data scientists. I am always very proud when I see them develop and flourish within the Group.

My team is international as it is mainly based in France and India. And in this context, it is extremely important for me to have an atmosphere where everyone feels free to express their opinions and ideas. I also attach great importance to autonomy and initiative-taking, because we operate in a field where innovation is key and therefore everyone must be given the opportunity to be autonomous and take the initiatives they consider good at their level.

When I arrived at the Group, what surprised me the most was both the appetite for technological innovation, while operating in a highly regulated sector, so I was very positively surprised to see how the Group managed to resolve this apparent contradiction to create innovations that are both responsible and also comply with current regulations.
