Olivier Guillo, Chairman, CEO and founder. Two executives, four independent experts, and white papers that set out where AI saves time — and where it stops.
Two executives, a Strategic Committee of four independent experts. This organisation ensures that every answer the platform produces remains sovereign, sourced and verifiable.
An entrepreneur since 1995 and a graduate of École Centrale de Paris. He founded Optivalue.ai to transform the way organisations address their compliance and governance challenges, and he leads the company’s strategic vision.
More than ten years’ experience in the administration of companies and international NGOs. Holding a master’s degree in communication and a DESS (postgraduate diploma) in development, she has run financial and operational management since the company’s beginnings.
Artificial intelligence category. The award recognises a private AI per client, hosted in Europe, with no ITAR or Cloud Act dependency, and compliant with NIS2, DORA and AI Act requirements.
Four independent experts in cybersecurity, compliance, corporate governance and business law. Their mission: to check that Optivalue.ai’s direction stays aligned with our clients’ regulatory requirements and sovereignty concerns.
Former adviser to the OECD Secretary-General, he took part in the negotiations of the 1997 Anti-Bribery Convention. Founder of ETHIC Intelligence, co-author of the ISO 19600 and ISO 37001 standards.
Doctor of law, former lawyer and then general counsel and company secretary of listed groups. She advises organisations on their governance and strategic recruitment, including the governance of artificial intelligence.
HEC graduate and information systems engineer. The founder behind several technology companies, he works on AI as a lever for preventing and detecting cyber threats.
Thirty years in inspection and certification. Based first in Hong Kong and then in Paris, he led the SGS group’s consumer goods, healthcare and food businesses.
The Committee publishes its thinking in the form of interviews. Each white paper covers one specific use of artificial intelligence, with its measured gains and its limits.
Charles Ly Wa Hoi, former Executive Vice President of SGS, in conversation with Philippe Montigny, Chair of the Strategic Committee.
The heart of certification remains the signature of a trusted third party. This white paper examines where AI saves the auditor time without ever shifting their responsibility: document review, compiling observations written in several languages, drafting the pre-report clause by clause.
It also sets the precondition. An audit involves personal data and trade secrets: without control over confidentiality, no certification body can commit. To date, fewer than 5% of accredited bodies have integrated generative AI into their ISO/IEC 17021 processes.
Olivier Guillo, CEO of Optivalue.ai, in conversation with Philippe Montigny, Chair of the Strategic Committee.
The question is no longer “which AI should we choose?” but “who owns the intelligence produced by using it?”. A pooled AI learns for all its users, competitors included. A proprietary AI learns only from you.
Written for executive committees and boards of directors, this white paper distinguishes two mechanisms that the word “learning” conflates: training pooled models on customer data, and private knowledge capitalisation. It draws on research published in Science Advances and PNAS on the homogenisation of AI-assisted output, and ends with the five questions to ask any provider before deployment.
Topic currently being scoped by the Strategic Committee
Under the direction of Philippe Montigny, Chair of the Strategic Committee.
The Committee is continuing its series of interviews. The next white paper will follow the same format: a dialogue with a practitioner in the field, quantified gains, and clearly stated limits.
