Shannone Controu

Fullstack Developer @Comet

I had the chance to work with Swann for four years, and this collaboration was extremely impactful. Throughout this period, I always felt listened to, valued, and supported, which makes a real difference on a daily basis. Swann's technical expertise, vision, and ability to make sound decisions provide a solid and reassuring framework. But what I appreciated most was the quality of every exchange: open, respectful, and stimulating discussions where viewpoints are genuinely taken into account. His deeply human way of working, attentive to team balance, creates a healthy and engaging environment. I am convinced that Swann will continue to have a positive and lasting impact on the teams and projects he supports.

Jérémy Levy

Tech Lead @ Comet | Next40/120

I have rarely, if ever, worked with a manager and CTO who is so attentive, caring, and deeply human. The trust given, the quality of exchanges, the relevance of advice, and the energy transmitted on a daily basis make a real difference, both on a human and professional level. His impact on teams and projects is real, lasting, and immediately noticeable. I have no doubt that Swann will continue to help grow the teams and projects he encounters in his future experiences.

I highly recommend Swann, with whom I had the pleasure of working for 2 years when he was my manager. Swann is a competent, involved person with excellent interpersonal skills. He places great importance on human interactions, the well-being of his team, and knows how to establish a climate of trust that promotes commitment and motivation.

Mehdi Tagaizine

Product Owner & Freelance Developer

We worked together for 5 years at Comet! He's someone who gives his all and expects the same from the rest of the team by pushing them to reinvent themselves and step out of their comfort zone. I particularly remember our debates: a real pleasure to exchange, to confront our viewpoints, to challenge R&D and technical ideas. We didn't always agree, but these discussions always allowed us to come up with better solutions. Working with Swann means being challenged and progressing quickly! I hope we'll work together again sometime :)

Operations Director

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and thank Swann Le Vigouroux for his collaboration with the technical team at Cognacq Jay Image, as a Software Engineer at the company Anyware Vidéo. From 2010 to 2012, Swann actively participated in the development of dynamic graphics systems and broadcast control systems for Cognacq Jay Image. On this occasion, he demonstrated skills, reactivity, and professionalism. He has always been a reliable and responsible person, both in his work and in his relationships with the Cognacq Jay teams. This is why I strongly recommend the services of Swann Le Vigouroux.
