Senior🎓
Top SchoolRomain Ruaud is a technology leader and intrapreneur with over a decade building high-performance e-commerce platforms and open source products, now co-founder and CTO of ElasticSuite. He progressed from Magento developer to R&D engineer and member of Smile’s Innovation Board, where he helped transform ElasticSuite from an internal project into a commercial search, merchandising and personalization engine built on Elasticsearch. Equally comfortable in hands-on backend work—implementing catalog merchandising, multi-currency UX improvements and blacklist support—and in strategy, he leads product, architecture, go-to-market and growth initiatives. A frequent speaker at industry conferences, he blends deep Magento/Adobe Commerce expertise with a track record of prototyping disruptive deployments (e.g., Magento-as-a-Service with OpenShift/Docker). Based in Bordeaux, he pairs entrepreneurial rigor with community-minded open source stewardship, shepherding one of the most popular Magento2 extensions on Packagist.
