Summary
Maxime Vaudano is an experienced investigative journalist and leader with 12 years at Le Monde, now heading the Les Décodeurs unit where he blends data journalism, fact-checking and innovative storytelling. He has progressed from web reporter to head of investigations and now leads the whole Décodeurs service, directing cross-disciplinary teams on data-driven investigations. Author of two books on politics and co‑founder of the fact‑checking site Lui Président, he combines deep political knowledge with rigorous verification methods. Based in Greater Paris, his background includes study of European affairs at King's College and a journalism master from ESJ/Sciences Po Lille, informing a continental perspective on governance issues. Not obvious from his title: he has repeatedly translated investigative reporting into accessible formats and projects that hold power to account while experimenting with new digital narratives. He maintains a public portfolio at maximevaudano.com for contact and samples of his work.
