VERONIQUE LAFARGUE

BEHIND MAISON LAFARGUE

I am a global executive, with 20+ years of experience in getting tech innovation to transform the way we communicate, learn and care for our planet. I created Maison Lafargue to help startups scale and build sustainable growth.

SaaS pioneer, I've built the first marketing organization for Google Cloud in Southern Europe, led global enterprise growth of Google Maps and content marketing and thought leadership at Box. I went on to build and lead the marketing team at Strivr, building the Immersive Learning category. I am an advisor to several companies in B2B and B2C, an Operating Partner at Xoogler Ventures, an instructor on Maven and TEDx organizer.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, sailing, mid-century architecture and baking with my family.
