Yoann E. A. Le Bihan

Lawyer, IT Engineer, Entrepreneur: the DNA of my career is made of Passion and Sharing with both mentors and mentees. My mission is to help others achieve their goals in their professional lives.

Yoann E. A. Le Bihan Profile Picture

With over 15 years in the IT industry as a freelance consultant and entrepreneur, and as an active member of the State Bar of California and the District of Columbia Bar, I can bring together knowledge and skills that are too often mutually exclusive: I'm always happy to talk about sophisticated technical topics but also about open source software licensing, copyrighting, business incorporation, or privacy laws.

A worldwide commuter, my home is in Luxembourg, a deeply multicultural country in the heart of Europe but my entrepreneurship spirit finds its roots in the Silicon Valley.
