Nicolas Levi - Speaker on intelligence artificielle
Speaker on Artificial Intelligence and Decision Making. Poker Champion • CEO • Gamification Expert • Staying one step ahead in the era of AI
For ten years, Nicolas Levi was part of the 4% of professional poker players who win over time, eventually joining the French team and achieving 5th place at the World Championships.
In parallel, he led fifteen years of entrepreneurship: several co-founded companies, managing up to 70 people and serving 200,000 users, before selling to a large group.
From these two lives, he has drawn a conviction: poker and business are based on the same principles. Deciding quickly, under pressure, with little information.
In both of these lives, he was a pioneer during the arrival of big data, and then artificial intelligence.
Today, as a speaker and strategy consultant, he supports leaders and teams in decision-making, leadership, and change management in the era of artificial intelligence. His conferences make poker a laboratory for decision-making under uncertainty: a concrete, embodied, and often unexpected playground that sheds light on the transformation challenges of organizations.
His style: personal storytelling, interactive experiences, live insights experienced by the audience, and immediately actionable tools.
He works with major groups, including L'Oréal, BNP Paribas, Thales, Natixis, and Kering, and counts half of the CAC 40 among his historical clients. More than fifty corporate seminars designed and led.

Deciding in the Age of AI Lessons from a Poker Player
Professional poker champion turned executive, Nicolas Levi uses poker as a laboratory for decision-making under uncertainty. A conference on decision-making, risk management, and the role of humans in the face of artificial intelligence.
When the 100 best players in the world faced the machine (and lost), they learned a lesson that applies to any transforming business: AI provides the state of the art, but it cannot understand you or decide in your place.
Participants leave with
- the desire to accelerate with AI without losing control
- a concrete decision-making model in four steps (Learn, Reason, Decide, Relearn), applicable the very next day.
Keynote format 30 min to full conference 90 min. Ideal for conventions, executive seminars, digital transformation events.
Reading the table. Understanding and engaging your teams
In poker, you read your opponents to win. In management, you read your teams to engage them. It's the same skill.
This conference on leadership and change management provides managers with a framework for understanding the real motivations of their collaborators. Through live experiences shared by the audience (cognitive biases, false consensus, loss aversion) and the Moving Motivators tool, participants understand why their teams do not react as expected, and how to activate the right levers instead of convincing.
Keynote format 30 min to 90 min. Ideal for manager seminars, team off-sites, transformation support.
Capturing Attention — Gamification in the Service of Engagement
We live in the attention economy: employees, clients, and leaders are overwhelmed by notifications, competing messages, and fragmented priorities. In this constant noise, those who capture and maintain attention prevail.
This conference on engagement, innovation, and performance shows how gamification, that is, the use of game design principles in non-gaming contexts, stimulates motivation, focus, and adherence.
Beyond points and badges, it is about understanding the mechanics of intrinsic motivation to achieve real engagement and put humans back at the center.
With over ten years of experience supporting CAC 40 organizations as well as high-growth startups, Nicolas Levi draws on impactful stories, live demonstrations, and directly actionable frameworks for training, customer experience, transformation, or leadership.
Keynote format 45 min or workshop. Ideal for innovation, HR, marketing, and performance departments.
