Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFlorian Barral is a data-savvy entrepreneur and educator with a decade of experience founding and scaling edtech startups, currently serving as Co-founder & CEO of Evalmee. He blends rigorous engineering and analytics training from CentraleSupélec, ESSEC and ENS with hands-on product work—from launching MVPs and hybrid apps to deploying classroom engagement platforms used for live quizzes and assessments. Florian teaches business statistics and data science at ESSEC while drawing on prior industry roles in data science and product management at Capgemini Invent, Artefact and Amazon. His career shows a strong focus on active learning: he built Daskit to make lectures participative and validated it through direct classroom deployment at EFAP and HEC. Comfortable switching between code, pedagogy and go-to-market execution, he pairs technical depth with a practical sense for what keeps learners and customers engaged. One non-obvious strength: he repeatedly leverages teaching as a lab to iterate product features and capture high-quality user feedback.
