Sébastien Najjar is a seasoned engineering leader with 14 years of experience building and scaling product-led tech organizations from early-stage startups to rapid-growth companies. As VP of Engineering at Padam Mobility he shapes tech strategy, org design, quality and data-driven decision processes to align engineering with business objectives. He combines hands-on founder experience—co-founding Skimlab and leading Dioxygen Software—with deep operational know-how in recruitment, knowledge retention and cross-department collaboration. His background spans systems and middleware performance work for large clients (Amadeus) through to browser-based 3D tooling and visual programming for non-developers, giving him a rare mix of low-level optimization and consumer-facing product sensibility. Based in Lyon and trained at Grenoble INP, he pairs formal engineering education with entrepreneurial grit and a knack for turning complex technical challenges into repeatable organizational practices. An understated differentiator is his emphasis on building measurable quality and knowledge-distribution systems rather than relying solely on individual heroics.
