Co-founder and CEO of COMPUTD BV, with a BSc in Data Science and Knowledge Engineering, followed by an MSc in Data Science for Decision Making.

My mission is the democratization of Digitalisation. I envision a future where the digital revolution is inclusive, and Data Science and AI are accessible to all, not just a privileged few. At COMPUTD, our approach is simple yet profound: We chart a clear path from point A to B, providing tools that grow with you, from a bike to an aeroplane.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with giants like Mercedes-Benz, Nike, VDL Nedcar, and Boels, delivering impactful solutions tailored to their needs. From creating an intelligent workforce scheduler for a smaller enterprise to transitioning another from outdated tables to a state-of-the-art Azure data warehouse, my journey has been about making AI and Data Science meaningful and actionable.

As we stand on the cusp of a digital era, I see Digitalization as the linchpin of future businesses. But it's essential to tread wisely, leveraging AI not just as a buzzword but as a genuine solution to real-world challenges. My expertise particularly shines in sectors like Customer Service, Automotive, and Retail.

Outside the world of algorithms and data, I'm an avid Dungeons & Dragons player, a dog enthusiast, and above all, a staunch believer in the potential of people. Let's connect, collaborate, and drive the digital future together.

Damien Thouvenin

Je suis le co-fondateur de Goood.

Nous aidons les dirigeants qui ont des projets de logiciel maison, développés par des équipes maison, à mieux dormir en chassant les cauchemars logiciels que sont, par exemple : 
- Les difficultés d’alignement inter-équipes ou inter-directions
- Une gestion de portefeuille et priorisation obscures
- Un manque de maturité managériale des leads tech
- Une dette technique exorbitante qu'on ne sait plus résorber
- Des problèmes de qualité, fiabilité et rapidité des livraisons
- La dépendance critique à quelques collaborateurs indispensables
- Une agilité en panne (on voit ce que ça coûte, on ne voit pas bien les bénéfices)
- Des effets ciseau run/build en période de changement rapide (construire et maintenir simultanément)

Perso, j'ai commencé mon parcours agile en 2001 avec la découverte de TDD puis XP. Entre 2006 et 2008 j'ai élargi mes perspectives avec le Lean Software Development et Scrum.

Parallèlement, en 2004, j'ai co-fondé ma boutique de conseil avec 2 collègues. Aujourd'hui nous sommes 30 consultants-coachs-formateurs basés à Paris, Lyon et Nice.

Je travaille principalement avec des dirigeants pour les aider à bien maîtriser l'agilité et ses modèles mentaux, afin de l'intégrer dans le management et pour qu'ils aient la posture et le sponsorship appropriés aux changements à l'œuvre dans leur entreprise.
