Astran | Who We Are

Our values

Passion

We chose the hardest problem in enterprise resilience: not planning for failure, but executing through it. That choice demands more than professional commitment. It demands genuine belief that the infrastructure keeping companies alive is worth building right. We bring that energy to every client deployment, every product decision, every partnership, every hire and every moment of our Astran life.

High expectations

We operate in environments where a failed process costs millions. Our clients include some of the largest enterprises in Europe and globally, and they deploy Astran in production, not in a lab. That context sets our standard. We do not ship until it is ready. We do not sign off until it works. We do not accept "good enough" when the stakes are operational continuity.

Unity

Resilience is not a solo sport. It takes finance, IT, legal, supply, customer relations and operations aligned around the same outcome, often under pressure, often in crisis. We are built the same way. No silos between product, sales, and delivery. No gap between what we promise and what we deploy. One team, one outcome, and a lot of fun.

Founders

Yosra Jarraya

Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer

Yosra built Astran from first principles. Trained at HEC Paris and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, called to the Paris Bar, and seasoned at Davis Polk & Wardwell advising governments and multinationals including LVMH, she crossed into the corporate world as Legal Director at Financière Lov, structuring deals including the acquisition of Endemol Shine by Banijay Group. A certified financial analyst (CIIA) and MIT Sloan alumna on blockchain and digital sovereignty, she brings the rarest combination in enterprise software: legal precision, financial fluency, and technical depth. Recognised as a Young European Leader by the Aspen Institute, Young Leader of the French-American Foundation and one of France's top 100 inventors in 2023, Yosra leads Astran with a single conviction: operational resilience must move from idea to execution.

Gilles Seghaier

Co-Founder, Chief Technology Officer

Gilles brings deep platform engineering experience from Tibco and Salesforce, where he operated at scale inside some of the most demanding enterprise software environments. At Astran, he leads all research and product engineering: the AONT-RS cryptographic architecture at the core of AlwaysReady®, the patented multi-cloud execution layer, and the SOC 2 Type II certified infrastructure that enterprise clients deploy in production. His focus is a platform that executes, securely, at scale, always-on when everything else fails.

Yahya Jarraya

Co-Founder, Chief Customer Officer

Yahya has spent 19 years at the intersection of enterprise sales and technology transformation, building and leading revenue teams at Tibco, Pivotal, Denodo, and DataStax across European markets. At Astran, he owns the full customer arc: from first conversation with a CISO, CFO and COO, through pilot, to live deployment & customer satisfaction. He shapes go-to-market strategy, manages the partner ecosystem, and leads the Customer Office team. He has taken AlwaysReady® from concept to production at CAC40 clients including Sanofi, VINCI, Eiffage, and Elior. His operating thesis: resilience is only credible when it runs.
