Concrete use cases

Operations automation

Teams often lose two days per week on emails, follow-ups, proposals, and reporting. Focused AI workflows can reduce this to minutes. In a recent mission, targeted automation on the top 3 bottlenecks cut operational load by 40%.

Typical impact: -40% manual workload, +25% time-to-market

Typical impact: +40% qualified leads in 6 months

CRM and augmented customer operations

Predictive segmentation, automated scoring, and AI assistants for field teams. I designed NLP assistants that query client knowledge in natural language with no client-side code.

Typical impact: +15% conversion rate, -30% processing time

Data-driven decision-making

AI dashboards, smart alerts, and predictive analysis help teams decide in minutes instead of days. This model has been deployed across multi-SaaS environments in multiple countries.

Who I am.

About

Who I am.

My name is Tarek Nachnouchi. I have 27 years of experience in digital operations, product leadership, and organizational transformation.

I started at Yahoo in Europe, where I learned what global-scale operations require. I then built AdTech and SaaS platforms in Dubai, founded Boostiny (affiliate platform, 30,000 users, strategically acquired in 2020), and later led product transformation at ArabyAds as CPO (100M$+ revenue, 50 people, 5 countries, $30M raised).

Since returning to France in 2024 and based in Bordeaux, I decided to put this experience to work for SMBs. They are the core of the economy and deserve high-quality AI transformation support: not theoretical training, not disconnected tools, but real execution and measurable outcomes.

My conviction: AI is a powerful lever only when integrated methodically into the organization, not just into tools. This is a transformation project, not an IT side project, and this is exactly what I execute.
