Welcome to the personal website of Cédric Javault. Here, I share my story, both in my personal and professional life. Explore the key moments of my career, my accomplishments, and the passions that have shaped my journey. This site offers a genuine insight into my world, providing an open window to who I am and the milestones I've achieved.
About Me
My name is Cédric Javault, and I am an entrepreneur and engineer with a strong focus on artificial intelligence. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of founding and developing several innovative businesses, each driven by my passion for technology and its potential to address real-world challenges.
One of my early projects was Telligo, a company that became a leading force in organizing educational and thematic camps for children. Later, I co-founded AI-Stroke, a startup aimed at early stroke detection through AI, blending my technical expertise with my desire to make a tangible impact in the healthcare sector.
What motivates me is the belief that technology, when applied with care, can bring about profound changes. My journey has been focused on pushing boundaries, innovating, and creating solutions that not only address immediate needs but also enhance everyday life for many.
Professional Experience
AI Stroke (September 2021 – present)
Since September 2021, I have been the CEO and founder of AI-Stroke, a startup based in Montpellier that specializes in early stroke detection using artificial intelligence. Our mission is to save lives by significantly reducing the time required for diagnosis, allowing for quicker and more effective medical intervention. This pioneering project has attracted notable media coverage. For example, an article in Ouest France featured our “Neurologue Numérique” application, set for release in 2025, which will enable stroke diagnosis in mere seconds—a true breakthrough for emergency responders.
An article in France Bleu also underscored the importance of our work, explaining how our AI technology converts patient videos into actionable data for rapid diagnosis. This innovation will empower emergency teams to quickly identify and assess stroke severity, improving coordination with hospitals for optimized patient care.
Anatoscope (April – SEPTember 2021)
Before that, from April to September 2021, I worked at Anatoscope in Montpellier as an AI and computer vision engineer. My primary task was to automate the positioning of 3D scans, replacing the manual efforts of operators during a period of rapid growth. My contributions allowed 95% of cases to be processed perfectly in 15 seconds, compared to the previous 10-minute duration for a trained operator. My code was also successfully deployed into production.
Bentley Systems (March – July 2020)
In March 2020, I joined Bentley Systems in Paris as an AI engineer. I improved semantic segmentation by integrating depth data (transitioning from RGB to RGB+D) using a convolutional neural network (CNN) that I designed in-house. This solution was successfully applied to real client datasets, demonstrating the practicality of the approach.
Telligo ( 2001 – 2018 )
From 2001 to 2018, I served as the president and founder of Telligo, a company dedicated to organizing vacations for children and teenagers. I built the company from scratch, achieving €35 million in revenue by 2018, with a team of 300 staff members and 26,000 children hosted annually. My role extended far beyond administration, as I was directly involved in creating and preparing the camps, ensuring that every detail was carefully designed to offer a unique and enriching experience. For those curious about the behind-the-scenes work, I shared a blog titled “Petit making off des colos”, where I discussed the challenges, strategies, and dedication involved in creating memorable vacations.
In addition to this hands-on work, I led a €4 million fundraising round in 2009 with EPF Partners (now APAX), acquired five companies to establish a strong group, and eventually sold the company in two stages to UCPA and Sodexo in 2017/2018. My responsibilities also included defining brand positioning, managing an annual marketing budget of €1.5 million, and participating in numerous national media appearances.
DRIRE Nord-Pas-de-Calais ( 1998 – 2001 )
Between 1998 and 2001, I served as Division Head at DRIRE Nord-Pas-de-Calais in Douai. I oversaw the technical supervision of the Gravelines nuclear power plant, led a team of 17 civil servants, and acted as a liaison with professionals from various industries as well as the media.
