In 2020, recognizing the limitations of traditional business school education, he chose to leave formal studies behind and instead learn directly from leading entrepreneurs, principal consultants, and founders of multimillion-dollar companies.

This immersive mentorship exposed him to the real-world mechanics of enterprise growth, advanced AI applications, and emerging sectors such as green energy innovation and energy-transferring technologies all of which crystallized his vision of AI as the foundational force behind next-generation organizations.

Over the course of his career, Jean Jacques has excelled at bridging frontier AI lab research with practical enterprise deployment, consistently delivering high-impact, scalable results.

He has led AI-driven digital transformation projects for a wide range of clients from fast-scaling startups and public sector innovation programs to globally recognized brands.

While many of his engagements remain under NDA, Jean Jacques has collaborated with companies such as Google, Apple, Starlink, DJI, Sola-Invest, Timon Kriek, and Modular Dating, among others each seeking to unlock exponential growth and operational efficiency through tailored AI solutions.

As CRO at Modular Dating, one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the dating sector, he played a key role in securing a $2.5 million seed round.

He was later hand-selected to join Sola-Invest as a General Partner, where he now leads innovation at the intersection of AI systems design and capital allocation.

Jean Jacques’ unique expertise blends advanced technology, consumer psychology, and strategic project management enabling him to architect systems that fuel sustainable, long-term growth. Under his leadership, Selfbuiltsystems has emerged as a trailblazer in the AI consulting space, guided by its core principle:
