🤝 Your future manager

Laetitia has 10 years of engineering experience, starting as a Back-End Engineer and evolving into an Engineering Manager role before joining Qonto as Lead Engineering Efficiency in October 2024. She has a passion for building internal tools that make a real difference in people’s daily work - she loves the direct connection with users who are accessible and whose feedback drives meaningful improvements.
