Top SchoolFerdinand Boas is a product marketing leader and developer-relations specialist with over a decade of experience building B2B SaaS go-to-market strategies and developer ecosystems from Paris. He has scaled communities and product adoption—from growing Meilisearch MAUs tenfold and launching its first products to running 36 developer conferences as a co-founder—while blending hands-on content creation with sales enablement and analyst relations. At GitGuardian he executed targeted industry and account-based programs, forged strategic alliances with AWS and Snyk, and supported multiple product launches with competitive intelligence. Comfortable at the intersection of product, engineering, and revenue, he crafts clear positioning, builds repeatable content engines, and equips sales teams to close complex deals. Ferdinand’s background combines technical training (ENSEEIHT, HKU) and digital business strategy (HEC Paris), giving him a rare mix of engineering fluency and commercial rigor. He’s equally at home running community-driven developer programs and translating technical value into market-ready messaging.
