Summary
Valentin Bourgoin is a tech leader and hands-on CTO with 10+ years building product-driven engineering organizations, currently focused on mission-led projects that reduce environmental and social impact. He has led engineering and product teams at startups and scale-ups—shaping roadmaps, hiring and coaching teams, and implementing stacks from Django/React to server-side services—most recently as CTO of OMAJ and now operating as an independent Tech Lead engagé. Comfortable toggling between coding, architecture and people management, he specializes in launching MVPs, optimizing delivery processes, and aligning technical work with measurable impact. Valentin also teaches and mentors (Ada Tech School, IMAC), bringing a coaching mindset to long-term team growth. Based in Nantes, he combines agency-style pragmatism with startup-scale product strategy, and prefers working where tech directly advances sustainability. A lesser-known strength: he pairs rapid execution ("run fast") with durability ("pedal long")—balancing speed and maintainability in practice.
