Our Leadership Team

Excelling in computing since childhood, one of the first ideas Emilien brought to life was a highly successful Facebook app he created and developed while at university. Not content with this venture, he graduated in his native Lyon and took his software skills to Asia. Within 3 years he was COO of a multinational mobile development agency, and not so long after — The Scalers was born. Created with the desire to build a unique offshore model, Emilien’s original vision has materialised, and he’s just as ambitious about future plans for expansion. When he’s not masterminding The Scalers to success, you can find Emilien traversing the bustling streets of Bangalore on his Vespa, on the lookout for the coolest Korean restaurants. Emilien is also the Vice President of La French Tech Bangalore-India, a network created to promote France as one of the best countries in the world to start and scale global tech champions.

After living across Europe, Asia, and Africa for 18 years, Deepak returned to France to pursue a degree in Political Science and Business Studies. Trilingual, speaking French, English, and Tamil — he worked at Amazon managing a team responsible for French third-party content operations. He was then headhunted by The Scalers. Deepak is in charge of coordinating partner operations to ensure optimum team performance and smooth sailing for your offshore operations. Deepak is the business mediator helping you establish a coherent corporate and cultural partnership. Outside of work you’ll find him either on his motorcycle, on his bass, or on duty with his high-maintenance puppy.

Born and raised in Bangalore, Franklin completed his Executive MBA with a specialisation in HR from the Institute of Business Management in Delhi. With over 15 years’ experience spanning HR, CRM, and SCM within organisations such as Infosys and Oracle — winning a multitude of awards along the way — today he’s responsible for making sure people are truly the heart of everything we do at The Scalers. When he’s not in the office ensuring our business is the best place to work, Franklin spends as much time as possible with his two young sons. You can also find him actively helping with various charities, engaging in corporate social responsibility projects, and supporting orphanage initiatives across Bangalore.

Aga studied the sociology of advertising and social communication, and has since excelled in both small and large enterprises in her native Krakow. Her experience spans large digital agencies, IT corporations, and boutique gaming studios. A free spirit, Aga’s adventurous nature led her to independent consultancy work — and after several years at a 100% remote global marketing agency The Scalers headhunted her with the task of building and managing the marketing team and strategy. When she’s not on Scalers duty you can find her painting Tuscan-themed watercolours and cooking her favourite Italian cuisine.

Ryan has two decades of experience in international sales, helping businesses of all sizes flourish in new markets. Across Europe, the Middle East, APAC, and LATAM, he has worked in sectors ranging from alternative assets and manufacturing to e-commerce and SaaS — it’s fair to say he’s put his International Business degree to good use! Today, he leads our sales organisation, including our partner-facing teams in the UK and Australia, along with our research function in Bangalore. When he’s not on the move, Ryan enjoys concerts, comedy shows, and following the F1 season — aiming to catch at least one race live each year.

After growing up in southern India in the neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu, Balachander completed both his MSc and MBA in the UK. He joined The Scalers as a talent acquisition specialist — bringing the skills he’d learned in both education and previous roles. After four years excelling in the position, he transitioned to Partner Success Manager where for five years he established and maintained highly productive relationships with all The Scalers’ partners. Now, Bala is the director of delivery, optimising processes and ensuring partners are gain even greater value. Something else that connects Bala with Britain is his ardent passion for cricket — he played for his University team in a prestigious English league and continues to play today, in India.
