ID side is excited to announce a strategic reshuffling of its leadership team as we deepen our focus on AI-driven privacy innovation

7 May 2026

We are thrilled to welcome Yannis Djaffer as our new Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Yannis joins ID side as a Machine Learning and AI expert, bringing deep technical expertise in agentic systems, model deployment, and privacy-preserving AI architectures.

Yannis succeeds Alain Pannetrat, who has played a crucial role in ID side's journey. We extend our sincere gratitude to Alain for his instrumental work, which helped lay the technical foundations for our patented "Personal Data Choices Management Platform" (EP4100905 / US 12,413,397).

Focus on the Future: AI Patent SDK
With Yannis taking the lead as CTO, ID side is accelerating the development of our AI patent-related SDK. This new software development kit will enable third-party developers, AI agents, and platforms to integrate our patented consent-signaling technology directly into their systems.

"Our vision is to move from human-clicking cookie banners to humanly-controlled agent-to-agent digital consent," said Marie-Charlotte Roques-Bonnet, ID side Principal. "Yannis's expertise in machine learning will be pivotal as we transform our patents into practical SDKs that allow AI systems to automatically listen to user privacy preferences."

The SDK will target:
- AI API calls requiring real-time consent validation
- Agentic AI systems that need to respect user choices across multiple interactions
- Privacy-by-design integration for developers building next-generation applications

A New Chapter for ID side
This leadership evolution aligns with ID side's broader mission: making human-centric privacy the default standard for the AI era, not an afterthoughtT.

Please join us in thanking Alain Pannetrat for his critical contributions and in welcoming Yannis to the team.

Stay tuned: Developer preview of the AI Patent SDK is expected in Q3 2026.
