The executive team
At the root of Kardinal, three mathematics, technology and logistics enthusiasts whose ambition is to revolutionize tomorrow’s Supply Chain.

With a strong technical background from the Ecole des Mines de Nantes, Hugo started his career as a LeadDev at BENSE and Augusta Reeves. As an entrepreneur, he co-founded several startups in the video game industry before co-founding Kardinal with Jonathan and Cédric.

At Kardinal, he relies on his skills in Operations Research to design the intelligent systems that will optimize the Supply Chain of tomorrow.
