Powder

Bart is the Powder co-founder in charge of everything Growth. He brings 8 years of startup experience to the project: he co-led deep tech startup contest Hello Tomorrow from its inception, and co-founded Artomatix, a startup using AI to automatically generate 3D content for video games, which exited to Unity (2020).

For Barthélémy, “the emergence of video games as the new social networks represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshuffle the cards of social, and to create a new—virtuous—paradigm based on fun and true relationships, rather than on individualism and the sale of personal data.”

Anne is in charge of missions ranging from accounting and general services (general organization of the workspaces), to HR functions and team building. Acting as the main support force for the Operations team, she deals with numerous topics on a daily basis.

With a Master's degree in Cultural Mediation, she started her career as an office manager at Wiltee. She also worked in AdopteUnMec, Wirecard and Max Havelaar, prior to joining Powder in January 2021. Striving to make the work life of the crew more enjoyable, she is the real soul of the office.

Aaish has recently joined Powder as a full-time Growth & Acquisition specialist. Having interned with the team previously, she proved to be a perfect match for the company’s ambitions and core values. She is focused on building Powder's user base and growing Powder's presence globally.

Aaish graduated from HEC Paris business school with a Masters in Strategic Management, and is a real startup enthusiast. Prior to joining the company, she worked as an external consultant to a B2B SaaS startup-turned-unicorn Anaplan, and as a Growth Hacker at an AI-driven SaaS startup.

Irina is working at Powder as a Motion Designer. Within the content team, she is mainly responsible for video production, creation of advertising content and content for Powder social networks. With a master's degree in Intelligence and Cultural Innovations (Marketing and Communications) at the University of Paris, Irina has done several internships in Russian companies and in French startups as a Communication Officer and Content Manager. Thanks to her, Powder is able to bring to life highly-creative visuals to attract new users to our platform.

Liam is in charge of creating and enhancing neural networks related to Powder's image processing. He is tackling many computer vision and machine learning problems critical to Powder's mission, including detecting highlights in videogames, recommending content to users, and using NLP to encourage better user interactions. Graduate of the University of Amsterdam with a Master's degree in AI, he completed his master's thesis at Scyfer, an AI consulting firm bought by Qualcomm. Prior to joining Powder he worked as a Data Scientist at PandaScore. Liam is passionate about all things machine and deep learning, and is on a mission to ensure Powder continues to apply (and contribute to) state-of-the-art research in the field.
