About Me
I am an active catalyst and leader in the French Silicon Valley tech community and an advocate of French and European technological innovation.
I have twenty years of experience in various executive sales, marketing, and operations roles for both startups and large companies. I was one of the very early VMware employees joining the company in 1998 and have also co-founded and successfully sold two startups.
Some examples of my successful investments are Acorus Networks, which merged with Volterra and was then acquired by F5, Aiden.ai, sold to Twitter, OpenIO, acquired by OVHCloud, and Guardicore, which was acquired by Akamai.
I hold an MBA from HEC Paris. I am a mentor for the Impact program as well as the Holberton School.
