Nicolas Cava

As a manager of software engineers and an experienced technical leader, Nicolas Cava has specialized for many years in managing multi-disciplinary product development teams. He has contributed to renowned products such as Crakrevenue (adtech and big data), PetalMD (healthtech), and Swile (fintech). He has led successful teams in bootstrapped companies such as Maple Inside (which I co-founded) and VC-funded companies such as Swile (30 million in series B, 70 million in series C) in Canada and France. A deep respect for people combined with leadership by example is the core of his approach to management. He's committed to providing the best possible work experience to the teams he's responsible for by relying on simple, customized, and scalable organization systems. He loves software, but he's a systems nerd. Even though his focus today is on organizations and people, Nicolas Cava stays informed about software design and the latest product trends. Strongly entrepreneurial, he has founded several companies during his career, including Maple Inside, a startup studio born in Quebec City, Canada. It was founded in 2015 with his former colleagues from Crakmedia. The studio saw the birth of several products in the adtech, sharing economy, and fintech (blockchain) industries. Today, he's involved in the decentralization of human organizations and the challenges that come with it.
