AI Empowered by Women Join us for an inspiring meetup as our speakers share practical perspectives on learning with AI, building resilient systems, and using generative AI to accelerate creativity and reinvention. Agenda Welcome and introduction Forever Junior: The skills AI can’t develop for you by Elise Baturone (Criteo) Beyond the Pager: AI as My SRE Investigation Partner by Fatma Bouzghaia (Criteo) Creativity & GenAI: How to leverage human expertise by Rabya HOUDBINE (L'Oréal) Q&A and networking Talks and Speakers Forever Junior: The skills AI can’t develop for you Told to use AI but still 'keep a hand on the wheel'? AI can write your code, but not your career. Here's how to use agents as a junior software development engineer and still learn the job. Elise Baturone Software Development Engineer - Criteo Elise Baturone is a Junior Software Engineer at Criteo on the Platform Experience team, which simplifies how developers interact with Criteo's internal platform services. There, they work on the company's Internal Developer Platform, improving discoverability and enabling self-service workflows so that developers can build, deploy, and manage applications more efficiently. Graduates of the software engineering school EPITA, they did both of their internships at Criteo, the second with the same team that hired them full-time in 2025. Having started their career alongside AI coding agents, they are particularly interested in how Juniors can use such tools to move faster without skipping the learning that makes them better engineers. Beyond the Pager: AI as My SRE Investigation Partner Make AI useful in the SRE world by creating skills that help investigate latency, debug performance, and plan capacity at scale. Fatma Bouzghaia Site Reliability Engineer - Criteo Fatma Bouzghaia is a Site Reliability Engineer at Criteo, where she works on large-scale distributed systems and data platforms supporting global production environments. Since joining Criteo in 2021, she has focused on reliability engineering, scalability, observability, and operational excellence for critical infrastructure services. She specializes in distributed databases and cloud-native architectures, with extensive experience operating high-performance platforms at scale. Fatma is passionate about resilient system design, infrastructure automation, and building reliable services for complex production ecosystems. She holds a double engineering degree in Computer Science and Distributed Systems Architecture from École Nationale des Sciences de l'Informatique (ENSI) and IMT - Télécom SudParis. Creativity & GenAI: How to leverage human expertise Generative AI is profoundly transforming the world of marketing and media. In this talk, I will share L'Oréal's vision and showcase concrete use cases that demonstrate how we are leveraging this technological wave as a powerful catalyst for acceleration and reinvention across our brands. Rabya HOUDBINE Global CREAITECH IT Director - L'Oréal I have an engineering background and began my career with four years in transformation consulting before joining L'Oréal ten years ago. After holding several roles in Data and Innovation, and completing an Executive Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence in 2019, I now lead GenAI initiatives for Marketing and Media.
