03 / WHO LEADS CLERC
Florian Meloux
Founder & CEO
[ LinkedIn ]Florian is a deaf entrepreneur and native signer. He does not study the problem from the outside, he lives it.
Over the past decade, he has built at the intersection of the Deaf community and technology. After co-founding Spokhand and serving as Chief of Business at Keia, he is now leading CLERC as its founder.
Educated at HEC Paris and UC Berkeley, Florian brings together business rigor and deep technical fluency in sign language AI, a combination that is rare by design.
His track record includes strategic engagements with Airbus, Thales, and TotalEnergies, alongside relationships with Google, Microsoft, and a deep institutional network across Europe, Japan, and the United States.
Already in conversation with leading foundation model labs.
