About

I build tech products, companies, and teams. Mostly with code and lots of data. Usually successfully.

Full career details available in my CV .

Earlier roles include serving as Global Director of IT for Amnesty International, leading technology for the world’s largest human rights organization, and as Directeur Technique (CIO) of France’s fifth-largest private investment bank. Notably led the business and technical turnaround at Neo APAC / Pivotal Labs, growing it into a $10 M USD ARR company prior to its 2016 acquisition by Dell (now Broadcom).

Outside of work: passionate traveller, conservation and science advocate, and lifelong student of astronomy and physics (with future PhD ambitions). Regularly author and contribute to open-source coding projects in Go, Rust, Python, and Ruby. Certified Emergency Medical Responder. Enjoy storytelling, snowboarding, snorkeling, and trekking (often chasing animals or stars).
