Émile Karam

CPO & Co-Founder

I came to France after my engineering diploma to pursue a master degree at HEC Paris. I was quickly confronted by the rigidity of the housing market. Landlords were hesitant to rent me their flat without a local guarantor. My parents live abroad and thus, couldn't qualify as my guarantor. After working in Financial audit at EY and an insurtech startup in Berlin, I am proud to create Garantme and say that looking for a French guarantor won’t be an issue anymore.

Thomas Reynaud

CEO & Co-Founder

During my studies, I oversaw the student satisfaction program at HEC Paris. It led me to find out about the struggle internationals face when looking for an apartment in France. The main reason was their inability to provide a French guarantor to guarantee a full rent payment to landlords. Later, when I was working in London, I faced the issue of finding a local guarantor myself. Today with Garantme, my goal is to facilitate access to housing for international students, while providing landlords with the protection they need.

Mylène Romano

VP of Sales & Associate

I was the president of Berard, a company that I've built over 25 years with my partners before selling it to Nexity. I managed over 5,000 apartments and finding the right match between landlords and tenants was always a challenge, especially in a tense market. My entrepreneurial adventure is far from over and my aim is to bring innovation to the housing market with Garantme. Today, we open doors to tenants by protecting landlords from defaults with the Garantme guarantor's service.
