About Rui Lopes
Rui Jorge Lopes is based in Paris, Ile-de-France, France. He is EMEA Sales Manager and Head of development (Sovereign Cloud & AI & SaaS) at Dassault Systemes. He attended ESSEC Business School.
He previously worked at Eviden as an Edge Computing & Artificial Intelligence Manager. An older Crunchbase listing shows the same role at Atos, from February 2021. A 3DS OUTSCALE blog interview, where he talks about sovereign cloud in the financial sector, gives his title as Manager Sales EMEA at 3DS OUTSCALE.
Crunchbase also lists him as CEO of Inherence Conseil, a role it dates from April 2010. It records no companies founded under his profile. We found no public detail on what Inherence Conseil does.

Crunchbase hides the investment amount and valuation behind a paywall, so we have not stated them. We found no public record of other angel investments.
We found no public AI investments by Rui Lopes. His AI involvement is professional. He has held an Edge Computing & Artificial Intelligence management role, and he now leads development for sovereign cloud, AI and SaaS at Dassault Systemes.
Rui Lopes has not publicly described a thesis, preferred stage, sector or check size, and we have not guessed at them. His only recorded deal is a seed-stage round. His day job covers sovereign cloud, edge computing, AI and SaaS, in the EMEA region. That suggests where he could be a useful contact for founders. It is not a stated investment mandate.
Founders considering an approach should treat him as an occasional angel with a limited public track record. A pitch is more likely to land if it relates to enterprise cloud, AI or SaaS in Europe.
