Aldrick ZAPPELLINI

Aldrick Zappellini is a senior executive specializing in data governance and artificial intelligence within the financial sector. At Crédit Agricole, where he holds major strategic responsibilities, he leads the teams in charge of Group Data Governance, the Group Data Management Office, and the Data & AI Design Authorities, as well as the Group DataLab and the Group AI Factory.

His primary objective is to accelerate the controlled development of Data and Artificial Intelligence for the benefit of the Group’s Client, Human, and Societal projects. His approach combines in-depth expertise in banking and insurance, acquired throughout his career, with a transformational vision of digital and data.

More than a technical expert, Aldrick is a team leader and a transformation agent. He spearheads major cross-functional projects that deliver value, driven by the desire to grow his teams while managing the profound changes that impact business activities, clients, and the company as a whole. His leadership philosophy is summarized by this strong belief: “Accelerating the use of data and AI is first about engaging talents and then creating the conditions for their success.”

Beyond the banking sector, he is actively involved in associations such as IMA – Innovation Makers Alliance (where he serves as a board member), Impact AI, and Hub FranceIA, which share a common vision focused on openness to regional economies and society, responsibility, collective intelligence around technology and its uses, as well as strategic autonomy and digital sovereignty.
