A graduate of ESSEC and Harvard Business School, Yann has moved between start-ups, scale-ups and large companies in Europe and the US, from Digital Media to Applied AI in B2B SaaS.

He led Product, Bizdev, GTM and Strategy teams across Digital & AI business models, managing new products, selling and closing deals, from business development to fund-raising or M&A, leading the exit sale of California-based scale-up TouchCommerce to Nuance, then sold to Microsoft.

A citizen of the world having lived in Europe, the US and Asia, Yann is passionate about how technological innovation is fundamentally changing the way people think, live, work and interact and how scale-ups are the conduit to such transformation at scale.
