Jean-Louis Quéguiner | Source | CEO and Co-Founder at Gladia

Jean-Louis Quéguiner is the CEO and Co-Founder of Gladia.

He founded Gladia in 2022 to make complex AI technology accessible to developers. He felt the tools available for developers to work with especially voice data were inadequate. His goal was simple: to create an API that worked seamlessly for enterprises and developers, regardless of the underlying model or technology. Today, Gladia has rapidly gained traction in the enterprise market with the first truly multilingual, real-time audio transcription and analytics engine, counting over 600 customers and 70,000 users worldwide. Its API supports advanced speech recognition features in over 100 languages, with exceptional accuracy and asynchronous and real-time transcription.

Prior to founding Gladia, Jean-Louis was the VP of Data, AI & Quantum Computing at Europe's leading cloud provider, OVHcloud, and former CTO of Auchan, France's leading retailer. Throughout his career, he has held pivotal roles in diverse industrial sectors, ranging from financial data analytics to machine learning applications in real-time digital ad bidding, to speech AI APIs.

He holds Master's Degrees in Symbolic Al from the University of Québec, Canada, and Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Paris.
