What Louis brings to Certo
3 reasons Louis makes Certo stronger
Louis studied business law at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne before emlyon business school, and taught himself to code along the way at 42 Silicon Valley and Le Wagon. He started in strategy consulting at Exton Consulting (now Accenture Strategy), running three missions for two major French banks in six months.
He then moved into venture capital, at AngelHub in Hong Kong and at Serena in Paris on Data Ventures II, a €100M pre-seed and seed fund for infrastructure software.

Investor’s eye
02Has sat on the other side of the table
Years of evaluating data, AI and infrastructure startups as a VC and as an investor give him a sharp sense of what to prioritize, and of what investors and enterprise buyers look for.
Legal grounding
03At home with legal texts
A business law background is rare in a startup team and useful in a compliance company: Louis is at ease with legal texts and the people who write and enforce them.
