Gabriel Hardy-Françon
Growth Engineer
I was trained to hunt
King's College London — Intelligence & International Security. Specialised in the geopolitics of Russia and the post-Soviet space. Lived abroad. Learned to find signal in noise, score sources, and turn scattered information into decisions someone could act on.
Then I worked as a journalist and investigator. Same job, harder constraints: chase the lead, verify it, ship it.
I build the same thing now, as software. Systems that read a market the way an analyst reads a brief — and tell a sales team exactly who to talk to, and why, before anyone else figures it out.

I love the hunt.

How I work
I don't rent stacks. I build owned, self-running systems.
