Tie began learning programming in middle school. After earning his master's degree, he worked in investment banks where he became passionate about spreadsheets and Excel. He then pursued a PhD at Inria, ENS Paris, and École Polytechnique, focusing specifically on spreadsheet languages and programming. He is now the CEO of Matrix Lead, a company that undertakes technology transfer and research and is the author of several popular spreadsheet software products.

Our vision

Spreadsheet technologies have developed tremendously over the last decade. AI is revolutionizing the way spreadsheets are used, and the fundamental advancements in spreadsheet languages, such as the LAMBDA function and array formulas, are equally thrilling. However, these advancements are still little known by the vast and heterogeneous spreadsheet user base. Few teams and companies leverage the full potential of spreadsheet technologies. Significant improvements in performance and productivity could have been made to their spreadsheet work, which is a huge pity.

Therefore, besides their fundamental research and software products, Tie and his team aim to provide teams and companies with end-to-end services such as spreadsheet modeling, automation, and optimization. This will help clients apply advanced technologies and transform their spreadsheet work. They have successfully helped companies and teams in diverse sectors and professions, achieving excellent results for these clients. They invite you to join this community of happy clients and achieve advanced success.
