Maksym Sugonyaka is a data-focused technology leader and co-founder serving as CTO of NewsCatcher, with seven years of experience building data engineering and analytics solutions. He holds a Master's in Data Science and Finance from Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne and blends quantitative rigor with product-minded engineering across startups and corporate risk teams. His background spans model validation in finance, hands-on data engineering at Sidetrade, and founding a news data product (newscatcherapi.com) that reflects his focus on scalable data pipelines and real-time information. Based in Paris and an HEC Incubator participant, he combines entrepreneurial drive with academic depth and practical delivery. Unusually for a CTO, he retains active developer instincts—contributing code and shaping the technical roadmap—while still engaging directly with data science workflows.
