They worked with me
Alexandre Louisy
Co-founder & CEO at Uplow, NYC
I worked closely with Fanny when she was Director of Talent Acquisition at eFounders. At that time it was only the beginning of our journey as an early stage project within the startup studio.
Fanny has been instrumental in the launch of our venture, helping us bring the team to the next level by hiring the right people, with great enthusiasm, professionalism, and, extra perk, always a large & big smile.
More importantly, Fanny has been a great coach for us. Her mission has not only been about "doing", but also teaching other "how to do", for us to be better co-founders and better talent managers at our own, modest level. The founding team has been amazed by the clarity and strength of her recommendations on the path to hiring, and how to build a culture within our new company.
We'll definitely miss her, but we know her advice and methodology are here to stay with us.
