People of Pro Bono: Antoine Clement

Read how this software developer is on a mission to better equip and empower social good organizations, one pro bono project at a time.

An experienced software developer, Antoine is a long-time advocate for pro bono service. He has not only personally donated over 200 hours of pro bono support but, inspired by the reach and impact of skilled volunteering, has also kick-started a pro bono program at his company.

A call to serve

Growing up, I wanted to be a king—not because I was obsessed with power, but my deep desire to serve the community. For me the connection between leadership and service is inherent, to be a leader one must serve his or her community to the best of their ability. My greatest professional skills may lie in empathy, enthusiasm, development, and SEO but I draw the most inspiration from creating links between people and seeing those connections create a more sustainable world.

From a software developer to a pro bono advocate

At work I found myself sharing my pro bono experience with my coworkers over lunch—revealing how donating my professional skills to nonprofits was better equipping them to solve pressing social issues. Eventually, these short, lunch break conversations turned into full-on discussions. Inspired by my colleagues growing interest in giving back, I initiated a pro bono program at my company. Today, as head of the pro bono program for SAP France, more than 135 of my colleagues have donated their expertise to over 25 social enterprises.

It has truly been an honor to personally donate over 200 hours of pro bono support to nonprofits and motivate my colleagues to get involved. I celebrate the kindness, professionalism, and commitment of all the social good organizations I’ve collaborated with along the way.
