Paris, September 7, 2026– Artefact, a global leader in AI and data consulting, announces the appointment of Stanislas Guerini as Managing Partner. Already involved with the Group since 2025 as a Senior Advisor, his new mission will be building and growing the People & Organization AI Transformation offer at a global level. In this capacity, he will also oversee the Artefact AI Academy.
The deployment of artificial intelligence requires a fundamental rethink of roles, skills, and the organization of work. Beyond the technological challenges, its large-scale adoption requires companies and public-sector organizations to rethink their management practices, employee career paths, training policies, and social dialogue.
With this appointment, Artefact aims to further accelerate its strategic capability to support clients end-to-end by reinforcing the human and organizational dimension of AI transformation. The ambition is to enable leaders to integrate these issues from the very definition of their AI strategy and to actively drive its rollout across their workforce.
Vincent Luciani, Co-founder and CEO of Artefact, states: “Stanislas’ arrival to lead the human side of our clients’ AI transformation marks a major new step for Artefact’s development. We share a core belief: the economic impact of AI extends far beyond technology, requiring a fundamental rethink of organizations at large. As AI now enters a phase of massive deployment and adoption, we want to provide our clients with a comprehensive response to the transformations it brings, fully integrating their human and social dimensions in a pragmatic way. Stanislas’ experience leading major transformation projects and tackling human and organizational challenges is a tremendous asset in developing this expertise at Artefact.”
Stanislas Guerini, Managing Partner and Global Lead of People & Organization AI Transformation: “AI is no longer just a new tool for employees. It requires a fundamental rethink of roles, skills, management styles, and organizations at large. This collective transformation must be driven by the C-suite, combining strategic vision with a deep understanding of the human dimensions involved. I am thrilled to fully join Artefact to contribute to this ambition and bring my experience in transformation projects to this new chapter.”
