Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEric Fourrier is a founder-led security and data science leader with 11 years of experience building tools that help developers protect code and sensitive data. As Co-Founder and CEO of GitGuardian (after serving as CTO), he scaled a secrets-detection platform that monitors public GitHub and eliminates secret sprawl across private repositories, messaging systems and logs. Trained in applied mathematics and machine learning at CentraleSupélec and ENS, he blends deep technical rigor with product-led entrepreneurship, having also co-founded Quantiops to deliver data-driven solutions. Early roles in fraud and leak detection fostered a practical focus on production-ready ML and large-scale data pipelines. Based in Paris, he brings a practitioner’s instinct for instrumenting developer workflows into secure, automated systems.
