About me
Who are you?
With a degree from Sciences Po Paris, Clément started his career at Google, helping top French advertisers on data collection and conversion improvement. His journey continued as a Lead Product Manager at DIY e-commerce company ManoMano, in charge of the catalog discovery experience (search, recommendations, merchandizing). 4 years later he joined Moni, a young fin-tech start-up dedicated to diasporas and the "next billion users" founded by fellow Xooglers, as their Chief Product Officer. There he founded a strong product culture, rooted in opinionated product management, top-notch data analytics and state-of-the art user research. When he's not innovating at work, he's sharing his experience on data analysis back at Sciences Po, where it all began. Outside the office, he is a dad of two, catching waves on his surfboard and crafting wood in his workshop.
