Interviewing Séverine Nolf: building the AI workforce for finance & strategy

In this episode, Bart and Raphaël sit down with Séverine Nolf, co-founder and CEO of PleaseFix.ai, the Belgian-American startup building the AI workforce for finance and strategy professionals. Séverine and co-founder Maxime Lahy left McKinsey's internal AI team to bring agents into the tools where analysts actually live: Excel, PowerPoint and Word. We dig into her three-layer vision, from last-mile document agents to a collaborative operating system, all the way to firms' agents negotiating NDAs with each other, and why you have to ace the first two layers before anyone lets you build the network.We also cover starting the company in San Francisco while keeping the tech team in Brussels, landing meetings with the biggest banks six months in, the $2.1M pre-seed led by Pitchdrive, why PleaseFix wants to be "the Legora of finance," and how the analyst job shifts from crunching slides at midnight to building conviction.🙋‍♀️ Guest: Séverine Nolf — co-founder & CEO, PleaseFix.ai📩 Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/severine-nolf/ 🌐 Book a demo: https://pleasefix.ai
