Biography
Ilyass El Mansouri is an Forward Deployed Engineering Manager at OpenAI who works at the intersection of frontier research and real-world deployment. He focuses on turning advanced AI systems into practical, scalable solutions, with a strong emphasis on agentic AI, knowledge graphs, and retrieval-augmented generation.
He represents the new generation of AI builders: technically deep, product-minded, and oriented toward production impact rather than theory. His profile is especially relevant for audiences interested in how sophisticated AI systems are designed, connected to data, and made reliable at scale.
On stage, Ilyass would bring a sharp, credible perspective on what it really takes to move from promising AI experiments to systems that perform in the real world. He is a strong fit for a keynote that wants to feel both forward-looking and grounded in practical execution.
