Senior🎓
Top SchoolSven Franck is an R&D project manager with 14 years of experience combining tech delivery, open-source front-end work and European policy entrepreneurship from Ljubljana. At Nexedi he oversees French and EU R&D projects and administers open initiatives like the Libre Endowment Fund and Euclidia, while previously founding and shipping responsive B2B platforms as CEO of Stokkers. He contributes to notable community code—improving UI components and testing in the well-known jQuery Mobile project—bringing hands-on JavaScript UI expertise to his product and project leadership. A dual-background in economics (Univ. Regensburg) and an MBA (Murray State) underpins his mix of strategy, fundraising and operational execution. For the past seven years he has paired tech work with pan‑European civic activism, co-leading Volt France and now helping launch Volt Slovenia, and is building #jumpstartEU to mobilize contributors and funding for institutional reform. That blend of engineering pragmatism, open-source credibility and political organizing makes him effective at turning grassroots momentum into funded, roadmap-driven initiatives.
