Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

12 years as founder/CEO of Smiirl (IoT/B2B/retail) + €20m in revenue since the beginning of the adventure (80% of which is export), with a team that grew to 30 people (product/tech, sales, marketing, product, customer success).

I left operations in February 2022, since then I have completed the Le Wagon coding bootcamp with the idea of strengthening my knowledge and have followed up with freelance missions, as a product/entrepreneur coach, particularly for Beta.gouv (incubator for digital services of the state, supported by the Interministerial Directorate for Digital Affairs).

INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)

Île-de-France, France
We build a tangible marketing tool for small & local businesses to help close the gap between online & offline worlds.

We created the one and only IOT product for Instagram & Facebook and we're really proud of what we achieved so far : make our clients happy with a tangible solution that improves their business through Facebook & Instagram.

We have the conviction that local businesses are all about loyalty & community and that Facebook (& later Instagram) was the right place for them to be, but they needed something more tangible to get connected with their clients.

Our devices not only bring interactivity in store but also make a real incentive to join a business on Facebook & Instagram and create conversations around social networks between store owners and their clients.

Advised the designers of Papier Machine to bring their design research to market & launch a successful Kickstarter (130k€ raised).

Papier Machine Vol.0 is a beautiful book of 6 interactive electronic paper toys ready to be cut, folded and assembled to unveil the mysteries of electronics in a singular and fun way.

This first volume is about the sound. The 6 toys in this volume produce sounds. They are printed with a silver ink that conducts electricity.

These practical DIY toys intuitively reveal how sensors work in electronic devices: tilt switch, gyroscope, resistor, etc.
