Youssef Drihmi

Product, jiu-jitsu, photography.

I’m Youssef. I live in New York and work in product. I’ve spent my career building products people use every day, most recently in growth at Meta, and before that at Forbes and American Express.

Outside of work, I’ve trained Brazilian jiu-jitsu at Marcelo Garcia Academy for over 18 years, and received my black belt there in December 2018. In 2019 I told a story at The Moth’s New York Community Showcase, about a trip to Morocco to visit my grandparents and extended family.

I take photographs when I travel, and I’m slowly building Mat Enforcer, a jiu-jitsu apparel project.

This site is where I keep some of that: notes, photographs, and side projects.
