Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJean Lafleur is a serial entrepreneur and operator based in San Francisco, serving as co-founder and COO of Airbyte, the leading open-source data integration platform. He has founded four startups (two acquired and one scaling) and brings hands-on product, growth and operational experience from roles as CEO/COO at CodinGame—where he grew revenues 4x and made the company cash-positive—and as Head of Product at StreamNation (acquired by SmugMug). His profile blends open-source stewardship, developer-facing platform strategy, and B2B integrations, with a track record of turning complex product requirements into scalable businesses. He holds advanced degrees from École Polytechnique and Cambridge Judge Business School and serves on CodinGame’s board. A less obvious differentiator is his early service as an officer in the French Navy Seals, which shaped his emphasis on resilience and rapid execution under pressure.
