Ronan Guiho — CTO

I am a technology leader with experience building and scaling engineering teams through the full company lifecycle - from zero to multiple million ARR, through hyper-growth, market consolidation, and market uncertainty. As CTO at Swapcard, I lead the engineering organization responsible for powering hundreds of thousands of events and serving millions of attendees across 72 countries. Throughout my career, I have focused on building robust technical infrastructures, specializing in Backend, Infrastructure, Security & AI. At Swapcard, I've built a fully remote engineering team from zero, scaling our platform to handle complex event management needs while maintaining the highest standards of reliability. My leadership philosophy centers on making engineering teams feel connected to the company through transparency and open communication about challenges. I believe in creating clear career paths, promoting internally to build a core team that grows with the company, and recognizing that becoming a manager isn't the only way to grow as an engineer. Over the years, I've learned that successful engineering is all about balance - between agility and processes, between anticipating the future and solving today's problems, and accepting that the perfect engineering solution doesn't exist. It's about finding the right trade-offs, embracing managed chaos, and remembering that being human and genuinely listening to people solves the majority of issues. I focus on developing talent while ensuring we deliver innovative solutions including AI-powered matchmaking, real-time event analytics, and seamless integration capabilities with over thousand of enterprise systems.
