HEY!

HEY!

At the intersection of finance, data science, and artificial intelligence, I help organizations transform complexity into opportunity.

I am Isabelle, Ph.D. and CAITL™, Partner and Principal Consultant at Los Flamingos Research & Advisory.
In 2023, I founded Los Flamingos to build on a 20-year journey in asset management where I pioneered the integration of AI into financial processes — consistently driving innovation, improving decision-making, and enhancing outcomes.


Throughout my corporate career, I held pivotal leadership roles within leading European asset management firms, managing multi-billion-dollar portfolios and leading high-impact projects across data visualization, predictive modeling, and risk management.


My experience includes direct responsibility for substantial assets under management (A.u.M.), strategic advisory roles, dynamic team leadership, and the consistent delivery of exceptional performance.


With a Ph.D. in Quantitative Economics and a Master's degree in Data Science and Econometrics, I bring a unique combination of deep theoretical knowledge and practical expertise.

Today, through Los Flamingos, I offer bespoke consulting services that leverage advanced machine learning techniques and sophisticated data analytics to drive strategic insights, optimize operations, and empower organizations to thrive in a data-driven world.


I am a Certified Artificial Intelligence Transformation Leader (CAITL™) from the United States Artificial Intelligence Institute (USAII®), a credential that underscores my expertise in leveraging AI for business transformation.


As a member of the European AI Alliance, I remain actively engaged in shaping the responsible future of AI in Europe.

In my current role as an independent Chief AI Officer (CAIO) for my clients, I deliver tailored solutions across Virtual Chief Investment Office services, Risk Management, AI Transformation, and Generative AI content strategies — always grounded in the unique needs and ambitions of each organization.


Partner with me to turn your data into actionable insights, strengthen your decision-making, and drive lasting competitive advantage in today's evolving landscape.


Let’s work together to build your future with AI.
