San Francisco Bay Area
Hey, I’m David — thanks for stopping by. I’m a Product & Partnerships Executive with both Enterprise & Consumer experience. Currently I lead Consumer Ecosystem Strategy & Partnerships at Linkedin. I’m French (grew up in Paris), moved to San Francisco in 2015, and have been at LinkedIn for over a decade. I started my journey at LinkedIn as part of the team that opened our French office. Since then, I’ve been in the Bay Area on the BD team, specializing in scaling stuff from 0-to-1 across all the parts of our business. Literally, all of them: started in our Talent Marketplace (HRtech), did a pit stop in our Product & Services Marketplace (AdTech & SalesTech), then took on Growth, trust, and Premium. Now, I lead Consumer BD - focused on making LinkedIn an app you want to use every day, multiple times a day through our AI ecosystem strategy, getting you dope Content from cool Creators, and making your profile more useful and more representative of your full self. We’ll probably get along great if you believe that: - True Detective S1 is elite-tier Media - Beaches > Mountains - Breakfast burritos can be a dinner meal - Fortnite is also for grown-ups (gamertag: vamburito)
Making LinkedIn so valuable & enjoyable that you use it everyday, many times a day.
Leading a team of world-class BD professionals responsible for LinkedIn's "Foundations", which covers LinkedIn Premium, AI, Trust and Identity. Alongside awesome cross-functional teams (Product, Legal, Engineering, Pricing, Marketing, Design), we're responsible for driving product/partner strategy and negotiating/managing strategic partnerships, including product integrations, channel partnerships, and API licensing. Notable achievements: - LinkedIn Verifications: Online Fraud isn't new, but GenAI is essentially pouring gasoline on the fire. Best solution against that? Make authenticity the new standard for online identity. We're doing just that with LinkedIn Verifications. Get Verified! -Premium Channels & Partnerships: Defined and structured our strategy to bring more value to our Premium members/customers via 3rd party partnerships. Oh, and we've started to execute with LinkedIn Premium Perks. We're just getting started.
Led the BD Platform team. We aspire to create, grow and nurture a Partner/Developer ecosystem that will enable LinkedIn & Microsoft to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. We are focused on three main areas. 1) Microsoft + LinkedIn: Deliver and scale best-in-class integrations with Microsoft to help the world’s professionals achieve more. 2) Horizontal Programs such as Direct-to-Customer and FINRA Compliance. 3) Developer Experience: Create tools, processes and best practices that will enable LinkedIn to scale and accelerate its goals while always putting our Members first.
Start-up at Station F focused on revolutionizing analytics for scouting in Soccer. The idea? there are many Kylian Mbappe's, Jude Bellingham's or Vinicius Jr's out there. Scouting in grass-root soccer just doesn't have the tools to find them all. COVID happened and grass-root soccer was no more for 1y+. Learned a ton. Would do it again, without blinking.
In charge of the development of an iPad & iPhone application to support sales and marketing organizations. Drove several worldwide digital campaigns, both on social media using Facebook Ads and Google Adwords alongside e-mailings using Neolane.
Managed the website restructuring, two goals : communicate the new company’s identity and increase the contact demands. Inspired and deployed “CRH Le Club”, a private member area on the website. Also audited and processed the CRM policy.
Picture this - we're late 2000's, the "music-oriented" TV channel in France is M6 (and W9, sister channel). Here's the thing, when you use Music on TV, you have to pay rights. It's not as easy as it sounds: there are different prices per artists, per medium (the music OR the video) and there are regulations that impose quotas to ensure diversity. My job in all this? I'm the person who revamped the operations by which we forecast and adjust how we use music on TV to maximize ROI on a XXM euros/years.
