À propos de Valentin
From Strategy consulting to Humanitarian and IT.
Between 2018 and 2024, I made the best of my time between BoldCode, a private company specializing in infrastructure and cybersecurity and Data Friendly Space, a UN-based tech non-profit. We have been supporting startups, private companies, Universities, INGOs, and many United Nations (UN) agencies for application development and cybersecurity services. My role combines a mix of project management and technical guidance on the projects we have been working on.
I am interested in data projects with purposes, with whenever possible a focus on human rights, transparency, and privacy. I always enjoy new challenges and would love to contribute to scaling up your digital project.
Managing BoldCode part time, and available for meaningful projects to be involved in.
Usually working in English but available in French - mother tongue :-)
