Capucine entered the tech world over 10 years ago, initially joining Mailinblack.
She started as an apprentice and helped its founder, Damien Neyret, create the spin-off Letsignit, which is now fully independent.
Beyond contributing to shaping the product and Letsignit’s value proposition, she established the Customer Care department, the Product team, the Marketing team, and actively participated in defining and embodying Letsignit's culture, its values (Dare, Care, Fair, Fun), its mission, and successfully demonstrated a caring and inspiring leadership.
She served as CMO for over nine years, also balancing a role as the founder and CEO's right-hand person.
Last September, our founder entrusted her with leading Letsignit, and she officially became CEO of Letsignit at the age of 35! A true testament to trust and recognition after years of dedication to the project.
Capucine embodies strong leadership—an inspiring success story for all employees. She has built a company where:
She has demonstrated ambition, authenticity, resilience, kindness, and performance throughout her career. A winning formula that has resonated with the 80 members of the Letsignit Family for over a decade.
"Capucine Roche perfectly embodies the inspiring and authentic leadership that we celebrate with the Microsoft Women Role Model Awards. Her exceptional journey—from apprentice to CEO in just 10 years—demonstrates her loyalty and deep commitment to the Letsignit project. Under her caring leadership, numerous inclusion and employee well-being initiatives have emerged, including 12 additional vacation days for everyone, the expansion of CSR programs, and achieving gender parity within the Executive Committee. Congratulations, Capucine Roche!" shares Isaure Moussaron Navarre, Partner Development Manager ISV - Cross & Retail at Microsoft.

We also want to congratulate the three other awardees and nominees this year, whose contributions and commitments enrich the tech industry. Their work inspires and paves the way for greater diversity and inclusion in the sector.
“It is an honor for me to receive this award. I hope to inspire other women to dare to enter the technology sector. We need to abandon limiting beliefs that are still too prevalent in this field. As women, we have the power to drive change—let's not wait for others to do it for us. Let’s dare!”, says Capucine Roche.
We sincerely thank Microsoft for this inspiring initiative that highlights exceptional women and encourages diversity in tech. Such initiatives are essential to inspire and motivate young women to pursue their ambitions, break stereotypes, and reach their full potential.
We are proud to see Capucine recognized for her leadership and look forward to continuing to promote these values within Letsignit.
