The team

The people behind Lesto.

Three experts, one mascot, and a conviction that SMEs deserve better.

Sami Zarzour

Sami Zarzour

CEO

Ops & commercial

HEC Paris, then a few years at Roland Berger advising large companies on strategies he would never have had time to implement himself. Sami eventually decided he'd rather build than recommend. He runs Lesto with one simple obsession: never selling a policy he couldn't understand himself.

Julien Falémé

Julien Falémé

Head Sales

Business development

ESSEC, then years at Theodo and Riot Cybersecurity closing deals nobody thought could be closed. Julien kept the instinct of a salesperson who smells a risk before the client even mentions it. His speciality: spotting the coverage gap nobody saw coming, and saying it plainly.

Loïc Carbonne

Loïc Carbonne

CTO

Product & tech

ENSIIE, then head of the e-commerce BU at Theodo, where he learned to ship clean code under pressure. Addicted to keyboards since he could type, Loïc builds the platform that does everything humans hate doing — like reading 40 pages of fine print without missing a line (he'd rather let sidekick Lee Stow handle that).

Official mascot

Lesto's fourth team member, hired for his instinct and his eye for detail. No diploma, no payslip — but a presence on every file and a reassuring calm in the moments when the other three would rather not be disturbed.
