NoteThe source confirms the person (Nicolas Dessaigne), organization (Algolia), role (Co-Founder), and start date (2012/Sep 2012) all match the record. However, the source shows him currently employed as 'Co-founder & CEO' at Algolia with no end date listed, which contradicts the claimed endDate of 2020. The source does not provide information about when his tenure ended, making the endDate claim unverifiable from this source. The record is partially confirmed but incomplete regarding the end date.
