The permanent team
Revision as of 10:45, 6 November 2024 by Mellie-mellow (talk | contribs)
At the moment, a team of 8 enthusiastic people are employed by the organization, assisted by 3 freelancers.
But it hasn’t always been like this:
- Stéphane created the project in 2012, and was quickly joined by many volunteers.
- Until 2019, all the community worked on it during free time, achieving significant impact with the rise of the 5-color score (now Nutri-Score) on €600 yearly budget!
- With millions of users in 2019, Open Food Facts needed a permanent team to tackle the rising challenges.
- Santé publique France decided to support the NGO, and in 2019, Open Food Facts was able to employ its first team members!
- Pierre and Stéphane became the first NGO employees in 2019 and Charles then joined them as Managing Director in August 2020.
- Then, thanks to the Google.org Impact Challenge, the team grew again with the arrival of Alex, as a Developer, in October 2021, and in April 2022, Gala and Manon joined them: Gala as Open Food Facts’ Community Animator and Manon as International Development and Partnerships Manager.
- 2022 also saw the arrival of Raphaël, creator of Robotoff, as a Machine Learning Engineer, and Edouard joined the team as a Freelance Mobile Developer.
In 2024, we had the pleasure to welcome new team members:
- Valentin: Developer for Open Food Facts 🍊since September 2023. Contributes to the development and design of many projects, both web and mobile.
- Charlotte: Helps producers import their products on the professional platform, internationally, to participate in the development of Open Food Facts across the world!
- Antoine: Worked as an intern to implement and improve the use of a CRM to manage contributors and producers all over the world by the Open Food Facts team and producers themselves.
- Jeremy: Joined the Machine Learning team as a freelancer to support Raphaël in developing new AI features for Open Food Facts. He also shares this work with the whole world though technical articles and tutorials.
- Mélanie: With a growing team and a growing number of projects, administrative, HR and accounting support is needed for a serene growth.
