Benoît Bourdel is a seasoned technology leader and co-founder who has spent a decade building product-led, data-driven startups from Paris. As CTO of Luko from 2016 to 2024 he helped reinvent home insurance by shifting the model from reactive claims to proactive prevention, scaling the company to France’s leading neo-insurer and Europe’s fastest-growing insurtech. Now serving as CTO at Primo, he continues to blend hands-on engineering with strategic product vision to deliver reliable, scalable systems for consumer financial services. Trained as an ingénieur at École Polytechnique with a research MSc in energy engineering from Polytechnique Montréal, he pairs rigorous technical foundations with entrepreneurial experience. A practical technologist rather than a pure academic, he’s known for turning complex regulatory and risk problems into simple, customer-focused technology solutions.
