Innovative Software Product Manager with 10 years of experience.
My entrepreneurial and consulting path has led me to be uniquely qualified to turn business ideas into full-scale running products.
I will now apply my skillset exclusively to products that make industries more sustainable.
Here are some of the products and projects I worked on over the past years:
People I have worked with in the past wish to work with me again:
“Maxime took great initiative and responsibility for all his tasks as well as proving to be an invaluable support when developing a strategic vision and plan.”
“I highly recommend Maxime for his expertise in ideation, interviews and UX. He has been an invaluable asset to our team and has helped deliver outstanding results for our clients' MVPs.”
“I was very fortunate to have worked with Maxime, he's an absolute brain and one of the smartest people I met. He's very analytic and data-driven, understands problems extremely well and gets to the core, while also thinking outside the box. Above all, I appreciated his hands-on mentality.”
My curiosity and passion have driven me to add many layers to my engineering foundations.
As a Product Manager, this gives me a unique edge to build a solid strategy and also have the skills and hands-on experience to understand and guide my team to success:
In 2022 I became a certified "Sustainable Web Designer" through Inco's Green Digital Skills program.
I learnt how to design a software product to have a minimal environmental impact.
This website and the counter at the bottom right are illustrations of these skills.
In 2022 I started volunteering at and taking part in meetings of "The Shifters", a not-for-profit that works towards making our economies "post-carbon".
In more than 3 years working at Memtell as a co-founder and Chief Product Officer, I had to start many projects from scratch, leveraging opportunities we saw on the market and skills we had inhouse.
Below you can see a few of the products I could work on:
As a consultant for 12MVP I had the chance to work on several interesting projects. There I had to interview internal and external stakeholders to identify the problems, lead ideation workshops to come up with solutions and design the product roadmap (and UX) so that we could have short lean product iterations.
Recygo was an interesting case where we had to develop an internal tool to help the sales team quote complex solutions for the setup of garbage recycling.
What if eating a burger patty was contributing to capturing CO2?
This is the question we set out to answer when my co-founder and I learnt that there is a bacteria (methylococcus capsulatus) that use methane in its fermentation process to produce proteins containing all 12 essential amino acids.
As a side project, some friends and I set out to build a not-for-profit crowd-sourced CSR rating of companies.
Since most rating platforms are run by private companies, business models force biased or obscure ratings. We think a wikipedia-style model would bring transparency to the topic.
Yes, you guessed it right, this is your carbon footprint while visiting my website.
Everything we do, whether it's watching Netflix for 30mn (200g CO2e), sending a short email (0.3g CO2e), or performing a Google Search (0.192g CO2e), has an impact.
The carbon footprint of our gadgets, the internet, and the systems supporting them account for 3.7% of global greenhouse emissions, similar to the airline industry. These emissions are predicted to double by 2025 (source).
While it seems complicated to imagine that browsing the internet has such a strong impact, usage through networks, data centres and devices is responsible for 56% of the GHG emissions of the ICT sector (source).
I've decided to visually represent your impact while browsing this website as an awareness exercise and a demonstration of my skills and knowledge. The number displayed by the counter is in grams of CO2 equivalents.
As managers, leaders and product owners, all of that is in our power to request, prioritise and implement.
