Julien Ricciarelli-Bonnal is a senior expert in marketing, communications and strategy, an entrepreneur since 2011, and the founder of Ricciarelli Partners.

Originally trained as a journalist and a graduate of the École Supérieure de Journalisme, he brings the methods of analysis, investigation and editorial rigor into the business world. His work focuses on helping organisations clarify their positioning, strengthen their communication, improve strategic coherence and turn complex decisions into concrete, actionable directions.

For more than fourteen years, he has advised executives, SMEs, agencies and organisations on marketing, communications, commercial strategy, business transformation and the practical adoption of artificial intelligence.

His expertise in AI for business focuses on governance, organisational adoption, accountability and measurable business value rather than technical implementation alone. He examines how companies can move beyond experimentation and integrate AI into clear operating models, decision-making processes and responsible management practices.

Julien has completed certified programs with institutions including the University of London, MITx, HEC Paris, Google, Microsoft, IBM and IE Business School.

He is also an author and regular contributor to recognised French business and marketing publications, including Journal du Net and Webmarketing & co’m.

Through his speaking topics, Julien explores the intersection of strategy, marketing, communication, digital transformation and AI adoption, with one central belief: effective strategy is not about doing more, but about making an organisation more understandable, more credible and more coherent in what it says, does and represents.
