Born in Amiens, he studied Philosophy at Paris Nanterre University, and later graduated from the École nationale d'administration (ENA) in 2004.

He resigned in August 2016 in order to launch a social liberal bid in the 2017 presidential election. In November 2016, Macron declared that he would stand in the election under the banner of En Marche!, a movement he founded in April 2016.
