About

An AI-first firmwith an ROI mindset

The vision

Leaid, the firm for tomorrow's leaders

Leaid is a growth-strategy consulting firm built for the age of artificial intelligence. Our AI/Tech-first architecture helps our clients understand their environment better, decide faster and execute with method.

We are convinced that generative AI, agents and new model architectures will profoundly transform the economy, organisations and the balance of power. The pace of innovation keeps accelerating, while hybridisation with robotics already raises very concrete questions: sovereignty, accountability, trust, security, value sharing.

Our mission is to help leaders ride these successive technological waves and convert them into engines of growth, differentiation and resilience.

We have chosen to focus on highly regulated sectors for a simple reason: they touch essential dimensions of our liberties, our rights and our economic life — health, property, access to justice, fairness of proceedings.

Our approach combines technological expertise, an understanding of regulatory constraints and a strategic reading of ecosystems. We work at the interface between professionals and the technology players designing tomorrow's tools, because those tools will shape tomorrow's concrete access to rights, services and opportunities.

Convictions

What we believe

  • Technology alone is not enough

    A tool, however powerful, creates no value on its own. It must be designed for real usage, integrated into existing processes and carried by a clear strategy.

  • Adoption is above all a human matter

    Being well equipped has become indispensable — but building genuine buy-in matters even more if the whole organisation is to gain real value and productivity.

  • Strength lies in unity

    Working with the ecosystem, institutions and professionals is how shared goals actually get reached.

  • Execution makes the difference

    We don't believe in consulting that stops at presenting a diagnosis. Our role is to go all the way to the result, close to our clients, in acceleration phases as in moments of tension. At Leaid, fieldwork, execution and ecosystem experience come before abstract analysis.

Our method

A simple, ROI-driven method

A structured approach designed to turn strategy into tangible results, with no superfluous steps.

  1. Strategic analysis

    A precise reading of your market: decision-makers, partners, prescribers, competitive dynamics, weak signals. We identify what really matters, what unlocks progress, and what can wait.

  2. Co-construction of strategy and objectives

    Together with your teams we build a short, defensible trajectory: a few sharp objectives, assumed trade-offs, steps that read clearly from the board room to operations.

  3. Methodical execution, all the way to results

    We stay in the field at your side: opening doors, negotiations, partnerships, project structuring, operational follow-up. A commitment honoured until results are observable and lasting.

The founder

Mamadou Waggeh

Mamadou Waggeh is the founder of Leaid, an AI-first consulting firm built at the intersection of growth strategy, artificial intelligence, legaltech and regulated markets. A graduate of Sciences Po Law School and holder of a Master's in Public Affairs from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, he held strategic positions at the French National Bar Council (Conseil national des barreaux) and then at the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, where he worked on the transformation of regulated professions and the impact of generative AI on the economy.

His background allows him to advise executives, AI startups, legaltechs, software vendors and professional organisations wherever technology, regulation, institutions and market access meet. In 2026, Institut Choiseul named him among « Les 40 qui font le futur du droit » (the 40 shaping the future of law), in the Entrepreneurship and LegalTech/RegTech category.
