Senior🎓
Top SchoolGregory Besson is a seasoned technology executive and founder with over two decades in digital innovation, currently serving as CTO at FoodPilot and Punchline while leading Livingcolor and ABE. He built and scaled development teams and studios (including a 70-person studio and the Stickers industrialization method) that apply R&D-driven, design-system-as-code and low-code principles to drastically accelerate delivery across Drupal, Shopify, Magento and React Native. Gregory blends hands-on architecture experience from international banking platforms with startup grit honed at The Refiners in San Francisco, where he pivoted an open-source SaaS into a mission to industrialize software development. He combines a rare mix of physics-trained analytical thinking, an MBA in management, and recent AI nanodegrees to drive machine-to-machine paradigms and AI agent integration in sustainable agri-food tech. Notable for turning classical manufacturing efficiency ideas into software engineering practices, he focuses on quality, finance-aware product strategy, and human-centered teams.
