The Essentials
I've been living in Paris for a bit more than 30 years now. If you ever visit the 9th district my favorite place is currently when you're in Trudaine avenue facing Anvers' square, around 8pm, during spring season.
Careers
I started my career working as a consultant, mostly for French Public Sector. After few years of this diet, I wanted to 'build' something, and co-founded an airbnb last minute platform www.firebnb.com . I lived the "startup way", working in a basement, doing things that don't scale, mostly on the marketing/acquisition side.
After 1.5 year of not scaling (long story short), I left this adventure to lead the digital team at Emma&Chloé (a French jewelry e-shop), which I just left yesterday.
Why Slite?
It was quite obvious, like a spark. I discovered Slite on Product Hunt, looking for tools for Emma&Chloé. I tried it, loved it so much, got back home and told my wife "I think I'd love to work for Slite".
I believe Slite is addressing an issue that hasn't yet been solved. And with every single organization intrinsically concerned with knowledge sharing and collaboration, it makes it an even more meaningful problem to work on.
I'm proud and happy to join this team—let's experiment and grow together
