Founders to Watch · Fall 2026

Florian Douetteau

Co-founder and CEO

Dataiku

Series B+ Analytics & decision automation
Why watch Douetteau has spent a decade pushing the idea that enterprise AI should be a collaborative platform, not a pile of notebooks only data scientists can run.

Florian Douetteau is co-founder and CEO of Dataiku, the enterprise AI platform he started in 2013 with Clément Stenac, Thomas Cabrol, and Marc Batty. A graduate of the École Normale Supérieure with earlier roles at Exalead and IsCool, he built Dataiku to make data science and machine learning usable across business and technical teams.

Four founders and a platform bet

Douetteau co-founded Dataiku in Paris to unify preparation, modeling, and deployment in one environment. Company storytelling emphasizes collaboration and governance — so AI projects do not die in a single analyst's laptop — and that framing has stayed consistent as the product absorbed newer generative features.

CEO through enterprise scale

As CEO he led Dataiku through large venture rounds and a global enterprise customer base. Public biographies still present him as the technical founder who wanted AI to be everyday infrastructure for companies, not a specialized lab privilege.
