The history of the BE SO GENIOUS company
BE SOGENIOUS is also the result of the founder’s personal story. Indeed, when he is still only a teenager, a great-uncle of Rodrigue who is both farmer and breeder, loses everything simultaneously, due to events whose impacts he had not anticipated. Traumatized by this situation, Rodrigue promises to put his potential at the service of anticipating this type of situations.
In 2008 during his studies as a computer engineer, Rodrigue carried out a first research work that touches on business intelligence and artificial intelligence. In the process, he will spend 6 months of R&D in 2009 in a research team in Business Intelligence at SAP, before continuing with a course in artificial intelligence at the University Paris-Dauphine.
In 2011, after designing an architecture he sees as the future of decision support, he plans to do a thesis in Artificial Intelligence at MIT, before pursuing a specialized master’s degree in financial management and control at ESSEC Business School Paris. This choice notably allows him to lead Impact projects with artisans in Africa. At the same time, he carries out consulting assignments with large European companies from which he obtains recommendations, and intervenes as a trainer with engineering schools and courses centers in France.
In January 2021, Rodrigue will publish on LinkedIn his architecture (above). It appears today as very likely the very first illustration on LinkedIn, presenting the future of decision support as a coordinated work between AI agents cooperating in fleets, Business Intelligence, market data and decision makers.
In 2023, it is naturally towards MIT that Rodrigue will turn to follow the Machine Learning in Business curriculum.
Today with the teams of BE SO GENIOUS LLC, the objective is to make decision-making intelligence accessible to each company according to its needs. Furthermore, we also want to put decision-making intelligence at the service of local impact with farmers, breeders and artisans.
