Gaspard Loeillot

Hi! I’m a founding engineer at Laurence (YC W26). We use hedge-fund math to automate advertising on Amazon. Previously, I studied Computer Science at Cornell and Mathematics at Oxford, with a focus on machine learning and reinforcement learning.

Before Laurence, I was an Associate at BCG. I realized pretty quickly that I didn’t want to spend my time advising from the sidelines. I wanted to build, own outcomes, and work on more mathy problems (yeah, I missed it).

I grew up in Alsace (France) and have lived in Singapore, London, and Boston. Football (soccer) has always been a constant, from captaining Cornell Mundial FC to playing on the Oxford University 'Blues' Varsity team. I’m also into basketball, poker, chess, travel, and books.
