Kamel DhakwaniBordeaux, France
Kamel Dhakwani is a Senior Digital & AI Transformation Leader based in Bordeaux, France. He works where product strategy, business operations and agentic AI meet. He turns a business need into a working solution, then supports its adoption by the teams.
What has he built?
He created GhostOne from A to Z, a system of governed AI agents that work inside a company's real tools, under human approval and with a complete audit trail. It is live in beta and deployed with a franchise network as pilot client. It includes an agent runtime, orchestration, memory, model routing, tool calling and integrations through APIs and the Model Context Protocol, along with connected applications for recruitment, project tracking, training and audits.
He also works with OpenClaw, on agents he installs for small local businesses and on execution agents connected to wider systems.
What has he led?
At AURES Group, from 2021 to 2024, he managed and coordinated teams across France, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia on self-service, kiosk content management and payment programmes. At Softavera, from 2019 to 2021, he led product strategy and the roadmap of a point-of-sale software suite, including a self-service kiosk rebuilt from WinDev to React for international markets and NF525 fiscal compliance.
What is he good at?
Agentic AI and AI governance, human-in-the-loop design, OpenClaw, the Model Context Protocol, product strategy, digital and operational transformation, multi-site operations, and leading teams across countries.
What does he not claim?
He does not present himself as a machine learning researcher or a pure software engineer. He does not train models. His strength is connecting business needs with solutions that are designed, built and adopted.
What roles is he looking for?
Permanent senior positions, based in Bordeaux and open to moving, such as Head of AI Transformation, AI Transformation Lead, Agentic AI Lead, Head of Product & AI, or Director of Digital Transformation.
