About

Hey, I’m David — thanks for stopping by. I’m a Product & Partnerships Executive with both Enterprise & Consumer experience. Currently I lead Consumer Ecosystem Strategy & Partnerships at Linkedin. I’m French (grew up in Paris), moved to San Francisco in 2015, and have been at LinkedIn for over a decade. I started my journey at LinkedIn as part of the team that opened our French office. Since then, I’ve been in the Bay Area on the BD team, specializing in scaling stuff from 0-to-1 across all the parts of our business. Literally, all of them: started in our Talent Marketplace (HRtech), did a pit stop in our Product & Services Marketplace (AdTech & SalesTech), then took on Growth, trust, and Premium. Now, I lead Consumer BD - focused on making LinkedIn an app you want to use every day, multiple times a day through our AI ecosystem strategy, getting you dope Content from cool Creators, and making your profile more useful and more representative of your full self. We’ll probably get along great if you believe that: - True Detective S1 is elite-tier Media - Beaches > Mountains - Breakfast burritos can be a dinner meal - Fortnite is also for grown-ups (gamertag: vamburito)

Sep 2018 – Sep 2021 · 3 yrs · Paris Area, France

Start-up at Station F focused on revolutionizing analytics for scouting in Soccer. The idea? there are many Kylian Mbappe's, Jude Bellingham's or Vinicius Jr's out there. Scouting in grass-root soccer just doesn't have the tools to find them all. COVID happened and grass-root soccer was no more for 1y+.
Learned a ton. Would do it again, without blinking.

Groupe m6

Video Clip broadcasting Assistant Manager - Apprenticeship Program

Sep 2009 – Sep 2010 · 1 yr · Neuilly sur Seine

Picture this - we're late 2000's, the "music-oriented" TV channel in France is M6 (and W9, sister channel). Here's the thing, when you use Music on TV, you have to pay rights. It's not as easy as it sounds: there are different prices per artists, per medium (the music OR the video) and there are regulations that impose quotas to ensure diversity. My job in all this? I'm the person who revamped the operations by which we forecast and adjust how we use music on TV to maximize ROI on a XXM euros/years.
