Description
François Ringard is Chief Data & AI Officer of Finaxy Group, one of France's top ten insurance brokers, backed by Cinven. Since 2025, he has built the group's Data & AI function from the ground up: a cloud data platform now serving as the single source of truth, six business applications delivered in 2026 using an AI-augmented development method, and the deployment of generative AI across the group under a dedicated governance framework. His career spans entrepreneurship and executive leadership: founder of a 40-person digital agency, partner in a transformation consultancy, head of transformation at an insurer, and business development lead in Asia for Groupe Barrière. His conviction: an AI-native company is not built by adding AI to the organisation, but by redesigning the organisation around it.
