Marie-Céleste, Communications Manager at Google France, grew up in Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo.

At Google, she works on topics related to AI opportunities, particularly AI for health and AI for the inclusion of African realities (e.g., language inclusion in models, natural disaster prevention).

She holds a Master's degree from the Sciences Po Paris School of Management, following a Bachelor's in social sciences from the same school's "Europe-Africa" program.

Her journey has sparked Marie-Céleste's passion for using technology to empower individuals and communities. She believes technology can be a powerful force for positive change, whether by supporting entrepreneurs and businesses, improving access to health and education, or promoting arts and culture.

This conviction also fuels Marie-Céleste's commitment to supporting non-profit organizations and initiatives that leverage innovation for social impact. To this end, she is a member of two organizations: Deep Learning Indaba, which aims to support AI research in Africa, and Je m'engage pour l’Afrique, think tank dedicated to empower young citizens between Africa, the Mediterranean and Europe

Her diverse professional background, ranging from startups to non-profits, consulting, and international corporations, has honed Marie-Céleste's skills in strategic communication, partnerships, and project management.
