Emmanuel Martin-Chave is VP Data at BlaBlaCar, the shared mobility unicorn. As VP Data & AI, he doesn't just manage numbers; he transforms hundreds of millions of daily events into impactful decisions. Imagine: every second, 300 decisions are automated thanks to the AI developed by his teams! His expertise is not limited to technical aspects; it encompasses his unique ability to collaborate with all business units of the company. His objective? To enable everyone to make better decisions for a positive and sustainable impact on results.

Under his leadership, the data teams, consisting of 50 experts, have a direct and measurable impact: more than 20% of the company's revenue is generated through AI and over one million euros in annual savings are achieved on operational costs, particularly with the integration of generative AI.

Innovation is at the heart of his strategy: AI model deployment has become 100 times faster in just 3 years.

His approach, particularly through technical and organizational migrations to Data Mesh, has doubled the productivity of Data Engineers.

His commitment extends beyond BlaBlaCar's boundaries. Emmanuel is the founder of Modern Data Network, the first French network of data leaders, which now brings together more than 1000 professionals. This active community organizes conferences – Forward Data or AI Product Day (350 participants) – and promotes knowledge sharing. Previously, he gained international experience, notably at Citigroup in New York, after obtaining a Master's in Management Science & Engineering from Columbia University. He is also a graduate of École des Ponts ParisTech.
