Three paths. Three readings of the world. One standard.
Born of a simple observation.
Contemporary crises can no longer be analysed from a single angle.
They are at once human, technological, financial, reputational, legal and geopolitical. Understanding them means bringing together expertise that usually works apart.
That convergence is what gave rise to Aquila Deep Intel.
The partners
Gaël Marchand
General Manager & Founding Partner
Gaël brings a strategic understanding of risk, institutional environments and the protection of sensitive assets, built within security forces, international organisations and leading luxury houses.
Xavier Chauvin
Founding Partner
Xavier brings deep expertise in financial environments, business intelligence and complex organisations. He decodes power dynamics, economic forces and networks of influence.
Alexander Melsom
Chief Technology Officer
Alexander brings the technological depth. An expert in offensive cybersecurity and digital forensics, he builds the capabilities that reach what conventional tools cannot.
Together, they combine what modern investigations most often lack: an understanding of people, a command of technology, and a strategic reading of risk.
Illuminating decisions when the stakes are high.
We work alongside leaders, investors, institutions and organisations facing sensitive, complex or high-exposure situations.
Our role is not to produce more information. Our role is to reveal what truly matters: enabling decisions that are safer, faster and better informed.
Technological capability in service of intelligence.
When existing tools reach their limits, we build the capabilities the mission requires. Our infrastructure cross-references large volumes of information, reveals invisible connections, documents evidence, and guarantees the compliance of every investigation.
Technology is never an end in itself: it is a means in service of understanding.
We don't sell tools. We bring a capacity for understanding.
Direct partner involvement
Every engagement is led by those who put their name to it.
Multidisciplinary expertise
Security, finance and technology : brought together around a single question.

Bespoke by design

Proprietary technological capabilities
Built in-house, calibrated to the mission.
