FX Rouxel is the founder and CEO of Gardyn. Gardyn develops cutting-edge technologies to make it possible for anyone to grow large quantities of nutritious and tasty produce at home, within a small footprint and no green thumb required. After several years of research and development in partnership with universities, Gardyn launched the
revolutionary “Gardyn Home” device and its innovative AI-based gardening assistant Kelby.
As a parent, cook, endurance athlete and Ironman, FX has always been passionate about health, nutrition, and great food. Hence his strong desire to shape a future of food different from today’s prevalent industrial farming, where most produce are harvested and trucked from afar, long before hitting the shelves. Gardyn was founded to reimagine food production as local and easily accessible to everyone, to make our lives healthier, tastier, and reconnected with nature, in a sustainable way.
Early in his career, FX worked for the French Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and in the energy industry, where he focused on developing technologies to provide more sustainable, carbon-free sources of energy. More recently in the U.S., FX was Chief Executive Officer of Infrastructure Services at Capgemini, deploying cloud, automation and artificial Intelligence technologies. FX earned a Master’s of Science (MSc.) degree in computer science and engineering from Ecole Polytechnique in Palaiseau, France and studied at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. FX lives in Maryland with his wife and two children.
