Top SchoolFrançois Falala-sechet is a hands-on senior engineering leader and startup founder with 11+ years of experience building and scaling SaaS products, most recently serving as Senior Director of Software Engineering at Fountain. He co-founded and served as CTO of Clevy (acquired 2023), where he translated company vision into fast-moving technical roadmaps and efficient processes that shipped high-impact HR products with limited resources. A pragmatic executor comfortable under pressure, he pairs deep engineering chops—including creator and core maintainer of the CSML language and notable open-source contributions to serverless-offline WebSocket support—with executive leadership and a habit of learning on the fly. Based in Stockholm, he blends product-focused technical strategy with operational rigor, mentorship, and a curiosity that spans from low-level devops to data privacy and developer tooling.
