Summary
Damien Dufourd is a co-founder and partner who helps governments and organizations build useful digital and AI-enabled public services while balancing performance and responsibility. With seven years in leadership roles and a decade-plus background in product, innovation and telecom IT, he blends hands-on product management with startup mentoring and agile coaching. At WeValue he advises on organizational, technological and environmental transformation; at beta.gouv.fr he coaches civil servants to ship public products rapidly. He’s mentored multiple startups and education programs, bringing practical experience from founding analytics and wayfinding ventures to corporate product roles.
