About me

Hi 👋, glad you're here!

I'm Jonathan, I'm a startup founder and product leader. Here's my 5 bullets points professional history

  • After working in banking and management consulting, I joined Jumia, the largest e-commerce platform in Africa, I was based in Nairobi and spent 3 years there
  • I learnt web development and worked for a bit as freelance web developer
  • I started Actiondesk, went through Y Combinator, raised $4.2m and after 5y sold it to Datadog
  • I now work at Datadog and lead a few products related to advanced querying and data analysis (including Datadog Sheets which is Actiondesk rebranded within Datadog)
  • I occasionally invest in startups (see more here)

On the personal side

  • I currently live in NYC, I previously lived in: SF, Paris, Nairobi, Montreal, Warsaw, Rouen, et Luxeuil-les-bains (my beautiful but tiny hometown in France)
