Cecile Eskenazi 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 — Co-Founder
I'm on a mission to help busy people stop living on auto-pilot and start living healthy, happy, and intentional lives. I share practical, research-backed knowledge on health, wellbeing, and productivity - and I write for real people: parents, working professionals, people who are tired and trying. No extreme biohacking, no overwhelm. Focus is on the foundations, done consistently. 🌿 That work lives at Live Well with Cecile - a newsletter and knowledge hub for people who want to take care of themselves without it becoming another full-time job. Alongside that, I run two parallel activities: 🔧 Product consulting - I help startups and scaleups build better products, faster. I bring 20+ years of product experience across Europe and Silicon Valley to companies that are ready to grow - as a fractional CPO, strategic advisor, or hands-on collaborator on roadmaps, strategy, and execution. 🎯 Coaching - I work with product managers and startup and scaleup founders who want to grow as leaders, make better decisions, and navigate the messy, human side of building companies. ———— My background: I'm a seasoned AI product leader with deep experience across consumer and enterprise tech - from early-stage startups to Meta, LinkedIn, and Vodafone. Originally from France, I've built my career across Paris, London, Düsseldorf, and San Francisco before returning home to the South of France. My dual French-American citizenship means I can work anywhere in the US or EU. What I bring to everything I do: 1. High emotional intelligence - empathy, trust, and genuine human connection at the centre of how I lead and collaborate. 2. Strong product sense - big-picture thinking, deep intuition, and the ability to craft clear strategy in complex environments. 3. Relentless execution - I rally teams, use data to make decisions, and get things done. My top personal values: family, friendship, autonomy, and authenticity. 👋 I'm currently building a portfolio career and open to select full-time opportunities - feel free to reach out.
