Baptiste Audren is a Chief Revenue Officer at Komgo, which he co-founded in 2018 with the backing of 15 major financial institutions and corporates. He brings more than a decade of experience in commodity trade finance, gained through senior roles across Europe (Paris and Geneva) and Africa (Johannesburg).
Prior to co-founding komgo, Baptiste worked at BNP Paribas and Société Générale, where he developed deep industry relationships that later enabled the formation of the Easy Trade Connect project in 2016. The initiative, initially supported by Société Générale and ING, explored the application of blockchain technology in trade finance and delivered two dedicated proof-of-concepts. This work laid the foundation not only for komgo, but also for the energy-focused trading platform VAKT.
Baptiste is a graduate of KEDGE Business School and holds an Executive MBA from EPFL.
