Hi, I'm Christophe
I am currently Head of Design at Plaid. I’ve previously led design teams at Apple, Meta, Uber, Alto and Parse.
I have a background at the intersection of software engineering and design, and I’m driven by curiosity for new technologies and a love of solving hard problems.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife Claire and our two children. I have a keen interest in technology, photography, sports, travel and mechanical watches.
