Jerome Viro
Mentalist Speaker, PhD, 100+ patents, former CTO/CEO - mentalism experiences that transform how leaders decide, influence, and innovate.
Jerome Viro is a Mentalist Speaker, PhD in computer science (IRISA/INRIA), and former CTO/CEO of major international technology groups (Synamedia, Quortex, ATEME, Technicolor). Inventor of over 100 international patents and a business school lecturer, he stands at the intersection of cognitive science, technological innovation, and corporate decision-making. His conferences and mentalism experiences reveal the cognitive biases that drive our strategic choices - and show how to transform them into performance levers. His approach, based on 20 years of mentalism practice and a career as an executive, offers decision-makers a striking mirror of their own thought processes. Decode. Decide. Influence.

His conferences
AI & Strategic Decision Making
Deciding with AI without losing human discernment. Generative AI asserts confidently, even when it fabricates. Through interactive mentalism experiences with the audience, this conference reveals the 4 illusions of generative AI and introduces the D.I.R.E. method: Decide what remains human, Question each output against reality, Refute by demanding evidence, Frame with governance rules. The lived experience anchors what the slides cannot convey.
Transformation is a Conversation
Getting buy-in for change, transforming resistance into a driving force. Through mentalism experiences in direct interaction with the audience, this conference makes visible the cognitive reflexes that block change. Each demonstration is followed by a breakdown of the mechanism, then a concrete, reusable reference for meetings. The experience of a CTO and entrepreneur who has led technological pivots and post-acquisition integrations.
The Influence and the Invisible Impact
Persuade without forcing, inspire trust. This conference-experience dissects the psychological levers of influence through the lens of mentalism. The audience experiences interactive activities that reveal live how attention is guided, perception is oriented, and a decision is influenced. Then each mechanism is decoded and transformed into an actionable tool. The perspective of a former CTO/CEO who has convinced boards of directors and international investors. Formats: Keynote (45-75 min) or Masterclass (3h to 1 day).
Unlocking Strategic Creativity
Unlocking blockages, innovating under pressure. This conference-experience exposes the cognitive framing mechanisms that hinder lateral thinking. Through interactive mentalism experiences with the audience, each participant discovers their own thought patterns and leaves with concrete benchmarks to overcome them. Because without real involvement, forgetting is massive - it is the lived experience that anchors change.
The Audacity of Lucid Decision-Making
Deciding in uncertainty, arbitrating under constraint. This experience-conference reveals the cognitive biases that compromise your strategic arbitrations. My method: to provide the audience with an interactive mentalism experience, reveal the cognitive mechanism it contains, and then leave a concrete and reusable reference. It is this sequence that makes the difference between an interesting conference at the moment and a conference that continues to have an impact afterwards. Formats: Keynote (45-75 min) or Masterclass (3h to 1 day).
