Meet Saoud Moco:
"I've worn many hats in my career so far - from layout engineer, to customer support, then through marketing and finance, finally I've found my new hat : entrepreneurship. My diverse history from Mauritius through England to France with short episodes through the Bay Area, Seoul and Luxembourg has taught me one important thing - I am very curious, open to new experiences and certainly not afraid of giving the 'unknown' a try. I speak fluent geek, marketing, strategy and finance besides my native 'pigeon French'.
Today I lead a group of individuals with fabulous skills and colorful personalities to develop a product that aims to revolutionise the world of recruitment. Being able to juggle between the big picture and the technical details is an everyday adventure that I deeply enjoy. My specialities include Product Marketing, Cross functional team management, Strategy, Semiconductor market and embedded computing."
