# We empower every talent to thrive everywhere

## Our mission

AskAïa is built on a simple belief: international talent drives progress. Our mission is to help organizations embrace this potential by making global mobility straightforward, reliable, and fair. We focus on creating clarity where there is confusion, stability where there is risk, and opportunity where there are barriers. In doing so, we enable every employer to support their global teams with confidence and every talent to thrive on the world stage.

## Our founding team

AskAïa was founded by Antony Diaz and Laurent Maisonnave, two serial entrepreneurs who believe international talent deserves better. Antony came to Canada from Colombia with his family and experienced firsthand the uncertainty of global mobility. Laurent, a long-time builder in the tech community, has dedicated his career to simplifying complex systems and creating human-centered solutions.

Together, they’ve scaled startups beyond $100M, led go-to-market strategies in regulated industries, and built deep expertise in AI and cybersecurity. Their mission with AskAïa is clear: to make global mobility fair, simple, and sustainable for organizations and the people they support.
