Summary
Timothé Mermet-buffet is a seasoned technology leader and founder with 15 years of experience building products and teams across Europe and China. Currently Directeur de la Technologie at La French Tech Shanghai and CEO of AlienGen, he blends hands-on engineering roots with strategic leadership in international startup ecosystems. His career spans CTO and project leadership roles where he shipped data-driven services, ad-targeting algorithms, and platformed CO2 tracking products after relocating to China. Trained as an engineer in information systems at Grenoble INP, he pairs formal systems thinking with pragmatic delivery—often personally bridging product, data and infrastructure work. Comfortable operating between French and Shanghai tech communities, he has a track record of turning ambitious ideas into operational organisations. Colleagues describe him simply as someone who “makes things happen,” reflecting a bias for execution as much as technical depth.
