About Atoptima
We are a DeepTech software editor offering powerful optimization modules for operationsplanning (vehicle routing, loading and packing, operations planning & scheduling…).
Coming from the academic world with strong industrial collaborations in various business areas,we observed the gap between what academic research is able to deliver and what is currentlyin use in the industry. That’s why we aim to provide tailored technological tools for the mostcomplex optimization problems, in order to do more and better while consuming less.
Based on prescriptive analytics and mathematical optimization, our solutions significantlyimprove decision-making, relying on more than 25 years of experience in OperationsResearch at the MIT, the University of Cambridge, the Inria and the CNRS.Our designation « Powered by ATOPTIMA » indicates that our clients are usingan optimization solver of unique and internationally recognized quality, performance and reliability.

The Managing Team
François Vanderbeck
Chief Executive Officer
François has been leading Operations Research projects for 25 years, with many industrial collaborations in various business areas. He graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Louvain (UCL).
He was Lecturer at the University of Cambridge in Engineering and later became full professor at the University of Bordeaux.
He founded the research team in Combinatorial Optimization at Inria/CNRS, which he headed for 12 years. He has published pioneering papers in major international journals and conferences.
He organised the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming in 2018 with 2 000 attendees, first to be held in France. He served as Vice-President of ROADEF (French Operations Research Society) in 2014.
Adrien Duruisseau
Chief Operating Officer
Adrien graduated in corporate strategy and finance from emlyon business school and holds a dual degree in international affairs from Sciences Po.
He has some international experience in strategy and financial consulting on large projects in energy and supply chain.
Following which, he held several positions of project manager in the e-commerce area (working at both Amazon Europe HQ & Cdiscount).
Vitor Nesello
Chief Technology Officer
Vitor graduated in industrial engineering from the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (Brazil) and in Operations Research from the University of Bordeaux.
He was the winner of the prize of the best undergraduate work of the Brazilian Operations Research conference. He was enrolled in the Inria research team in Combinatorial Optimization at the University of Bordeaux.
He has extensive technological expertise in algorithmics, software engineering, programming languages, operating systems, databases, networks, computer science, web technologies, graphical user interfaces.
Ruslan Sadykov
Scientific Director
Ruslan holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Louvain (UCL) and a postdoc from the X - Ecole Polytechnique.
He worked for 20 years as a Full-Time Researcher at Inria / CNRS, where he created VRPSolver, recognized as the world's best exact solver for vehicle routing problems. He also co-created Coluna.jl, an open-source branch-and-price-and-cut framework written in Julia.
As expert in mathematical optimization, Ruslan has published numerous internationally renowned articles in the field of Operations Research.
