Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPenelope Liot is a product leader and civic technologist based in Paris, currently directing the Agora product at France’s interministerial transformation agency (DITP) with five years of focused experience in public-sector innovation and digital transformation. She blends startup growth and marketing chops from roles at Lima and founder initiatives like Noël de la French Tech with hands-on civic projects—building civic education MOOCs for En Marche and supporting the Convention Citoyenne via Open Source Politics. As a former senior coach at beta.gouv.fr and lecturer at HEC Paris, she coaches teams on product, acquisition, and metrics while helping public institutions ship user-centered services. Penelope’s background uniquely spans diplomacy (UN mission work) and grassroots tech organizing, giving her a rare fluency in policy, narrative and product strategy. She practices mission-driven design—treating change as inevitable and deliberately de-dramatizing transitions to accelerate adoption. Fluent in French public affairs and startup ecosystems, she repeatedly turns civic ambition into practical, scalable digital programs.
