Florent Simon is a Paris-based venture capital investor at Play Ventures who brings a growth operator background from Google's Mobile Gaming team, where he directly helped mobile game studios scale user acquisition and monetization before becoming an investor. His entire pre-investment career focused exclusively on gaming and mobile apps through his Google role and subsequent independent growth consulting for game developers, giving him concentrated expertise in free-to-play, live-ops, and performance marketing that generalist consumer investors typically lack.
