Yves is an innovative technical Sourcer who enjoys finding creative and efficient ways to identify and engage software engineering talent. Yves led all things people, culture & recruitment at SEOshop (An EMEA500 Ecommerce start-up) where he supported the acquisition by Lightspeed. After leaving Lightspeed, he built his own company ‘Maven’ which focused on sourcing process, execution and tooling, hiring solid engineering talent around the globe.

Yves has always had a passion to work with technology at scale. So when Facebook approached him in 2016, he decided to make the move to London and join the EMEA recruitment team. At Facebook, Yves had an EMEA wide remit where was challenged with finding and engaging senior engineers such as Chief Technical Architects of systems that can impact over 2 billion users. He has also hired Uber’s engineering leadership for the EMEA region. Currently, he is back building his own company Maven, consulting for big technology / IT clients around the globe, where he is currently acting in the role of Global Lead Sourcer.

At the EVOLVE! Summit, Yves will be speaking about “maturity levels” within sourcing.
