Clara Chappaz is the director of La French Tech, a mission created by the French government in 2013 to catalyze the nation's entrepreneurial ecosystem through a combination of policy, financial support, and programs that help startups navigate bureaucracy.[1]
Early life
Chappaz is the daughter of Pierre Chappaz, a wealthy French entrepreneur.
Education
Clara Chappaz attended Lycée Francois Couperin in Fountainebleau, France where she chose the scientifique focus for her studies, which emphasizes science and math in the French Baccalauréat system. Following high school, she enrolled in Lycée Saint Louis,[2] a two-year preparatory program in Paris for students who want to apply to French business schools. From 2008 to 2011, she attended the ESSEC Business School where she studied strategy and entrepreneurship. Later, she enrolled in Harvard Business School in Boston, Massachusetts where she received an MBA in 2018.
Career
After graduation from ESSEC, Chappaz had several internships before joining Zalora Group in 2013.[3] Chappaz relocated to Bangkok, Thailand where she held several management positions at Zalora, including Regional Director for Southeast Asia.[4]
Following her studies at Harvard Business School, Chappaz launched Lullaby, a second-hand clothing marketplace for children. After 18 months, Chappaz had to abandon the startup, citing "visa problems."[5] She moved to London where she took a role in May 2018 as Vice President for International at Lyst, a fashion search engine developed by LVMH.[6]
Nine months later, she joined Paris-based Vestiaire Collective, a second-hand fashion marketplace, first as Chief Growth Officer and later as Chief Business Officer.[7] During her almost 3 years with Vestiaire, the company became prominent in France as it closed venture capital rounds of $215 million in March 2021[8] and a similar round in September 2021[9]. With Vestiaire's success, Chappaz became increasingly prominent, often serving as the public face of the company and being called on to give interviews to announce its big news.[10]
Cédric O, France's Secretary of State for the Digital Economy, announced on September 30, 2021 that Chappaz had been nominated to be the next director of La French Tech Mission.[11]
