Selected projects & product leadership
Some of the projects and products I worked on since 2008. Not an exhaustive curriculum, rather highlights and a showcase. Full curriculum on LinkedIn.
APIs are the backbone of modern software, but poor documentation turns them into a liability. Outdated, scattered, or unclear docs slow down adoption, overload support teams, and frustrate developers.
Bump.sh solves this by automating the workflow from API contract to developer portal. It keeps documentation in sync with your code, highlights breaking changes, and ensures every update is visible and actionable. Whether you're using OpenAPI or AsyncAPI, Bump.sh integrates with your existing tools to deliver clear, up-to-date, and discoverable API documentation.
Several years of working with Christophe have shown me that he did far more than simply go beyond the missions entrusted to him. Whether in supporting the team or in the many tasks his role involved, he always sought to add something extra: a human and sincere touch that unquestionably made all the difference.
Christophe demonstrates a rare ability to quickly master complex technical subjects, distill them into a clear vision, and communicate that vision effectively to teams, leads, and clients. He is someone you can rely on.
Christophe est un créatif passionné et infatigable, toujours prêt à se retrousser les manches pour trouver des solutions aux sujets les plus complexes. Il sait plonger dans les produits les plus techniques pour vraiment les maîtriser et en parler sérieusement.
When I joined Bump.sh in 2022, they had just raised a €4M seed round to unify API documentation for REST, event-driven, GraphQL, gRPC and SOAP APIs.
Throughout 3 years, as in most startups at this stage, we iterated a lot on our ICP, product positioning and messaging, together with our understanding of the API market, its needs and challenges.
As of 2025, we were targeting large companies publishing public developer portals, such as MongoDB, Elastic, and Redpanda. At the same time, we were seeing growth for private API docs, through customers like Lightspeed Commerce, Motorola Solutions, and BigID.
Go-To-Market Strategy
- Defined ICP and experimented with growth channels: personalized outbound (Loom audits), content/SEO with OpenAPI experts, and community events.
- Signed enterprise customers including Elastic, MongoDB, Redpanda, Lightspeed Commerce, Motorola Solutions, and BigID.
- 6x organic traffic growth in one year through content, SEO, and partnerships.
Sales & Customer Onboarding
- Created a repeatable sales playbook (ICP, pitch, qualification, PoC, pricing, legal reviews).
- Designed a standardized onboarding process with clear milestones, deliverables, and shared ownership.
Team & Product
- Led a cross-functional team (support, content, developer advocacy, BDRs) and freelancers.
- Coached a junior PM and the engineering lead on product best practices.
- Influenced the product roadmap with market insights.
AI-driven opportunities
- Analyzed market trends, emerging technologies (MCP), and customer needs to define strategic AI-based product enhancements.
- Leveraged AI tools for internal operations efficiency: highly personalized outbound, customer insights analysis.
- Championed ethical and responsible use of AI.
53% of users abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load. But you can't optimize what you can't measure.
Blackfire gives developers all the tools they need to measure, understand and optimize how their code consumes server resources. From development to testing pipeline and production, it provides actionable insights with a deep comprehension of the underlying technology: from a Magento shop to a Drupal, Django, WordPress, or vanilla Symfony site.
Christophe is a driven product director, who has a 360 view of his business. He has a lot of ownership and a great deal of experience that help him make informed recommendations on product roadmap priorities that can drive more revenue and customer satisfaction. He is also technical, which is important for relevant communication with the engineering team.
From its inception in 2014 to its acquisition in 2022, I supported the design, building, shipping, and marketing of the profiler in the PHP market.
After spinning off from SensioLabs in 2018, we expanded into new markets including Python, Go, and Ruby.
Based on community feedback, market studies, and strategic partnerships, we turned Blackfire from a profiling tool into an Application Performance Monitoring platform, with one-of-a-kind capabilities to both warn website owners when performance would degrade and provide actionable insights to fix issues.
Over its lifespan, Blackfire.io became the reference profiling utility in the PHP market, deprecating legacy and open source tools.
Product & Engineering Leadership

Go-To-Market & Adoption
- Defined Blackfire.io's unique value proposition, pricing, and brand identity to differentiate from Symfony/SensioLabs.
- Led technical content creation (tutorials, docs), SEO/SEA, and up to 5–6 annual events (US/Europe/India).
- Built community engagement through conferences and feedback loops to drive adoption and retention.
Customer Acquisition & Partnerships
- Acquired 50+ strategic clients (Apple, Trivago, GOG.com, Lightspeed Commerce) and 200+ SMBs.
- Negotiated and managed the Magento/Adobe partnership (>50% of ARR), aligning roadmaps and joint GTM motions.
Business Model & Integration
- Designed flexible monetization models (subscriptions, usage-based) to fit diverse customer segments.
- Co-led M&A due diligence and post-acquisition integration into Platform.sh.
- Launched the Observability Suite, enabling a 10% price increase and reinforcing Platform.sh's positioning.
