“Romain is a powerhouse talent with an impressive track record in the startup and engineering spaces, and we are fortunate to have him as a key member of our growing engineering team,” said Kian Sadeghi, CEO and Founder of Nucleus. “As we continue to build and innovate in the genetic testing space, Romain will be instrumental in empowering people with genetic data to make decisions about their health and future family.”
Daguet brings his deep entrepreneurial background, engineering prowess, and proven leadership skills to Nucleus’ engineering team alongside Savraj Singh, Chief Technology Officer, who previously served as chief technology officer at Daily Harvest and Bubble Goods.
