Léocadie works at ARX Robotics, a defense technology scale-up developing autonomous, AI-supported ground systems for European and NATO armed forces. Her work focuses on bringing new technologies into military service by working directly with soldiers in the field to develop and refine operational capabilities, while also collaborating on procurement programs and leading tenders.
Before pursuing her bachelor's degree at WHU, she completed voluntary military service in the Bundeswehr. She has remained an active reservist ever since, serving across different branches, from the artillery to the navy. For several years, she has also been actively involved with an NGO delivering humanitarian aid to Ukraine to communities affected by the war.
She represents a new generation helping to build Europe's resilience and defense technology ecosystem from the ground up at a pivotal moment, as the continent redefines its approach to security.
