Career
Childhood
Son of an architect in Morocco. Construction, first and foremost, is a family story. Building sites, drawings, technical discussions: that was daily life.
2005
Graduated from ESTP Paris. Building engineering degree. The technical foundation behind everything that followed.
2005-2012
Nearly ten years at Bouygues Construction. Accor Tower (Bouygues Télécom HQ), Bouygues Immobilier HQ (Issy-les-Moulineaux), Beaugrenelle shopping centre, Chanel HQ (Neuilly), Yvette clinic. From the field to head office, from execution to management.
2012
Co-founded Bulldozair. The idea was born on a building site: why is construction management still on paper and Excel?
2016
Y Combinator S16 in San Francisco. Bulldozair selected among the top 2% of startups. Acceleration, pivot, product-market fit.
2016-2022

2022

2022-2025
