About
👋 Hey, hello! My name is Grégoire Gaonach. I am digital policy consultant and a startup founder.
My journey into the digital world began when I was just 11 years old. Like an explorer discovering a new world, I played with Dreamweaver tools and edited the Google homepage. That sense of excitement, of feeling like a hacker, has stayed with me ever since, fueling my passion for technology.
Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand the world around me, I pursued a degree in computer science and eventually became a cybersecurity engineer with a certification from ANSII. Keen on making a difference, I also volunteer with organizations like Engineers Without Borders.
As my experience grew, I realized that making a significant impact isn't just about engineering, but also about advocacy and policy policies. This is where the European Union plays a critical role as a powerful player in driving change.
While juggling work at a start-up and a Master's degree in Political Science from Sciences Po Lille in 2022, a new chapter in my life unfolded. Drawn to Brussels, I embarked on an exciting career as a European digital policy consultant. I now help companies and organizations of all sizes develop strategic advocacy by focusing on tech-related issues, navigating the complex digital landscape like a seasoned guide.
