About Aymeric
I am a French Chief Technology Officer and entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience driving innovation in e-commerce, SaaS, and FinTech industries. My career has been dedicated to building scalable, reliable, and high-performance tech solutions that empower businesses to thrive in competitive markets.
𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆
I began my career at Agence Dn’D, one of France’s top web agencies, where I rose to CTO. Leading a team of 50 engineers, I delivered impactful e-commerce solutions for prestigious brands like Hermès and Fujifilm. In this role, I gained deep expertise in managing large teams, creating scalable web architectures, and aligning technology with strategic business goals.
Driven by a desire to innovate, I co-founded Artifakt, a PaaS solution designed to simplify cloud deployment for developers. Over six years, I raised €5M+ in funding, grew the company to a European leader in cloud hosting, and enabled global brands like Veolia and Zadig & Voltaire to deploy their applications faster and scale effortlessly.
Currently, as CTO & Late Co-Founder at KohortPay, a cutting-edge European FinTech startup, I am driving the development of a gamified social checkout platform that combines the virality of referral marketing with the immediacy of payments. Our solution empowers retailers to turn customers into influencers, increasing conversion rates and reducing acquisition costs by 50%. In just a few months, I helped raise €1.2M in Pre-seed funding, built a fast and reliable product, and onboarded major clients such as Yves Rocher and Carrefour.
