Work with Alexandre
About
I'm a Senior Solution Engineer at Snowflake, having previously worked at Microsoft and AWS across France and the UK. Over the years, I've worked with startups, scale-ups and large organisations, helping them design and adopt cloud, data and AI technologies. I can help you break into or grow within technical customer-facing roles, particularly Solutions Engineering, Solutions Architecture and Tech Sales. Whether it's navigating the recruitment process, preparing for interviews, building technical credibility or making your next career move, I'm happy to share what I've learned along the way. Expect open conversations, practical advice and honest feedback.
Alexandre’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Associate
10+ Career Coaching clients
I’ve built my career across some of the leading companies in cloud, data and AI, moving through roles at AWS, Microsoft and now Snowflake. I started at AWS in the Public Sector before joining the Startup organisation, working with some of the highest-potential companies in the ecosystem. At Microsoft, I was the first Solution Engineer hired in France specifically for Digital Natives, helping bring new technology companies onto the platform and develop them into strategic customers, particularly as generative AI and GPT rapidly reshaped the market. I later moved to London to help establish the same function in the UK and contributed to opportunities worth nine figures. Today, as a Senior Solution Engineer at Snowflake, I work with high-potential prospects across Data and AI and help develop them into strategic customers and partners. Having navigated these transitions myself, I can offer practical guidance on breaking into cloud, Data & AI, Solutions Engineering and customer-facing technical roles, as well as navigating interviews, career moves and the differences between startups, scale-ups and large technology companies.

Why do I coach?
I've been fortunate to work alongside talented people who have challenged me, supported me and helped me grow throughout my career. I know how difficult it can be to navigate the tech industry, especially when you're trying to break in or figure out your next move. I believe experience becomes more valuable when it's shared. If what I've learned at AWS, Microsoft and Snowflake can help someone gain confidence, avoid a few mistakes or open a door, that's time well spent.
Work Experience
senior solution engineer
Snowflake
May 2026 - Present
I currently work as a Senior Solution Engineer at Snowflake, focused on acquiring and developing high-potential prospects with the objective of turning them into long-term strategic customers and partners. My role sits across technical strategy, architecture and commercial execution, helping organisations understand how Snowflake can become a core part of their Data and AI strategy. I work particularly closely with fintech and technology companies on advanced AI use cases, including agents, LLM applications, RAG, evaluation and data architecture.
senior solution engineer
Microsoft
February 2023 - May 2026
I joined Microsoft as the first Solution Engineer hired in France specifically to support Digital Native companies. My role focused on acquiring new customers onto the Microsoft platform and developing them into strategic technology partners, particularly across Data and AI. This coincided with the rapid acceleration of generative AI and GPT, which put me at the centre of some of Microsoft’s most strategic AI conversations with fast-growing technology companies. I contributed to complex, nine-figure commercial opportunities while working closely with engineering, product and business teams. I later moved to the UK to help establish and grow the same Solution Engineering function there, supporting the Digital Native ecosystem across the market.
Solution Architect
AWS
September 2019 - January 2023
Started at AWS supporting Public Sector customers before moving into the Startup organisation, where I worked with some of the highest-potential startups in the ecosystem. I advised founders and engineering teams on architecture, scalability and cloud strategy, helping them design and evolve their platforms as they grew. This gave me early exposure to both large-scale cloud environments and the very different challenges faced by fast-moving startups.
