Edouard has had a long-standing fascination with computers, starting with an Amstrad CPC, which led him to pursue cybersecurity after studying at Epitech in France. His early career involved establishing a security R&D department and working as a product manager for SkyRecon Systems, now Stormshield, and later at Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity on web application firewalls. His expertise in application security (AppSec) and interest in digital transformation made him recognize the potential of addressing secrets sprawl, prompting his move to GitGuardian. Impressed by the company's ambition and culture, he appreciates their focus on detail, asynchronous work culture, and diverse backgrounds of employees. Outside of work, Edouard enjoys a balanced lifestyle between his home in the countryside and Paris, engaging in activities like drone piloting and cooking.
