Frédéric Renken

Frédéric Renken is Co-Founder at Lassie, an AI platform that autonomously handles administrative operations for small businesses, starting with dental practices across the United States.
Frédéric studied Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of British Columbia and built his career as a Software Engineer at Uber before becoming the first product hire at Superhuman.
