Summary
Eric Maria is a pragmatic CTO and founder with 10+ years of hands-on experience transforming IT stacks, building product roadmaps and scaling platforms for startups and SMEs from Lyon. He began leading IT at 20 and progressed to multi-site industrial IT and ERP development, then founded multiple ventures (numio, Trait d’Union, Vezerance) that blend product, marketing and tech delivery. Today he combines part-time CTO roles with consulting—auditing architectures, migrating tech stacks, automating processes and securing payment/chat flows—to prepare products for national scale. Known for rapid, adaptable execution and a “make-it-work-and-scale” mindset, he frequently turns technical debt into production-ready systems while enabling non-technical teams to adopt digital solutions. An EM Lyon alumnus and French Tech laureate, he’s also noted for integrating no-code/low-code tools pragmatically alongside traditional engineering to accelerate MVPs.
