Ori Pekelman

Chief Strategy Officer & Co-Founder - Platform.sh

I fight for Platform.sh (with velvet paws, I am not a street cat).

I am a technologist with a taste for business. Over the years I have helped build a number of very successful startups.

I often take an active role as much on the technology side as on the strategic issues, the commercial aspects and business development.

But I am foremost a software architect that gets a special kick from building large scale real-time systems that have to do complex stuff. I can write reasonably idiomatic code in three or four languages. And horrible unmaintainable hacks in quite a few more.

In my sparetime I help a few very cool start-ups.

Francis Lelong

CEO - Alegria.group

Cher lecteur,
tu n'as pas beaucoup de temps et tu souhaites rapidement en savoir plus sur mon activité actuelle ?
La voici résumé en 3 lignes :
- j'accompagne principalement des CEOs dans leur stratégie digitale et marketing, la mise en place de leur business model et le management de la croissance,
- depuis 5 ans, j'ai découvert les outils #NOCODE en commençant par Salesforce (pas forcément le plus simple), puis Airtable, Zapier, ... je suis convaincu que la prochaine révolution digitale est là, sous nos yeux, dans ces outils qui vont ouvrir une formidable période d'innovation
- ma différence : j'ai créé, dirigé et développé pendant 20 ans une dizaine de sociétés dans le digital, avec des succès tels que Sarenza.com, mais aussi des échecs, dans des industries très diverses. Cette expérience d'entrepreneur me permet de vous accompagner plus efficacement.Si tu es encore là à lire ces mots, c'est que tu souhaites donc en savoir un peu plus. De formation commerciale, je suis devenu un multi-entrepreneur récidiviste ! Après un début de carrière comme chargé de clientèle internationale en Chine, je m’oriente vers un poste de consultant en système d’information chez Andersen Consulting.En 1999, je cofonde ma première entreprise, Blackorange, leader de la distribution online de logiciels packagés, dans le top 15 français du ecommerce en 2001.En 2003, je cofonde Vecteur d’image, agence de relations presse.Puis, Sarenza.com, qui deviendra le N° 1 de la vente de chaussures sur Internet, avant de la quitter en 2007. J'ai également cofondé des sociétés qui n'ont pas fonctionnées, comme Toofoot, site communautaire pour les footballeurs amateurs, ou l’edito.com, éditeur de meubles contemporains communautaires. Deux très belles idées, mais les idées ne suffisent pas toujours à faire une belle entreprise rentable 🙂 En 2013 j'ai accompagné pendant 4 ans les destinés de la marque de produit cosmétiques HapsatouSy.En 2018 et 2019, j'ai accompagné Qobuz en tant que General Manager de la société avec deux principaux objectifs : réorganiser la société et créer les conditions d'une croissance forte. Avec 45% de croissance, des pertes divisées par deux et 22M€ levés, le défi a été relevé.Décembre 2020 : naissance d'Alegria.tech, la première agence Nocode en France que je fonde avec Christelle Curcio et Thomas Bonnenfant.

I've worked in various industries, including advertising, branding, enterprise data, virtualization, and consumer-focused start-ups and tech giants.

This privilege has allowed me to build and lead world-class engineering teams, found VC-funded start-ups, and develop and deliver high-profile, multi-million dollar market-leading technology.

My specialty is large-scale and next-generation experiences, interfaces, and the supporting architecture for CLIs, UIs, APIs, and SDKs that facilitate them. I have a massive passion for simultaneously improving the lives of engineers and customers.

Over the years, I've also authored and co-authored numerous patents across hardware, software, UI, and testing.

I'm also trying to promote green IT best practices among our e-business ecosystem. Maybe it's an utopia, but we have no choice: our Product & Engineering jobs must take our carbon impact into account.I tweet about my daily life at Adevinta and hobbies with my personal account: @grillatg.

Robert van Mölken

CEO & Founder - Exoblock

Understanding and learning emerging technologies such as Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT) and Serverless computing can be daunting. I can help you understand and implement these technologies using real-world use-cases that fit your organization. What I do best?
At Exoblock I help companies in designing, architecting and developing blockchain, IoT and application integration solutions both on-premises and in de cloud. Besides that I am a developer advocate on Blockchain, IoT and Microservices. Why am I an ideal candidate?
I started my professional career as a graphic designer and web developer in 2004, but shifted my focus to Fusion Middleware after graduating in 2007. In the next 10 years I constantly developed my skill on complex integration problems. During the last two years I transitioned from building service-oriented business processes using Fusion Middleware 12c, towards connecting the physical world with the world of Internet of Things using Oracle Cloud offerings and open source solutions. Besides investing in IoT, I also co-authored the first Oracle iPaaS book called Implementing Oracle Integration Cloud Service (published in 2017).My fascination for using the latest technology had led to the research of Blockchain to replace the currently used B2B and B2C patterns and tooling. This resulted in me writing a book about Blockchain (across Oracle), which took me about 18 months, which explored the technology behind blockchain, the implications, real-world use-cases and how to implement your own permissioned blockchain.What makes me a developer advocate?
I’m heavily involved in the Oracle developer community. I’m an speaker at conferences, author / blogger and participate in Podcasts.

Audrey Huvet

Head of Research Center - Devoteam Revolve

Having evolved for several years in hyper-technological spheres, the question of the place of work in the face of automation and the responsibility of tech professionals for future generations are my favorite subjects. To explore these impacts, we created Gravity, a contributory research center, a concept dear to Bernard Stiegler, to develop our convictions and implement concrete actions on subjects linked to ethics, diversity and inclusion, CSR, digital sobriety, AI and its challenges, finally everything that will allow our employees to take a step back from all the current injunctions (sometimes contradictory) and to collectively find mechanisms that will allow them to better control their environment and the impact of their work on society and the biosphere. How ? By studying the new skills of the 21st century symbolized by the HEAT: Humanities, Engineering, Art and Technology. Because technological products reflect the people who design them, we have a role to play in building a desirable future. #DiversityInTech #Tech4Good #Sustainability #EthicsInDesign #Education #Art

Bertier Luyt

CEO - Ades.io

As Steve Blank puts it: “Try innovating inside a large company where 99% of the company is executing the current business model, while you’re trying to figure out and build what comes next.”

Today, digital transformation is not necessary anymore, it is a matter of survival.

In a world of continuous disruption, corporate companies have only a few years to develop new capabilities or be pushed over the brink. Exploiting their existing assets, capabilities, and business models is insufficient for long-term survival. They need to explore new ventures, to prepare for future markets.

Science, research, technology and governance are the answer to build scalable solutions that humanity needs to solve the many challenges we’re facing.

Experienced in designing and deploying enterprise-class DevOps tool chains, advanced cloud architecture, enterprise integration, automated and performance testing, and service virtualization solutions, I’m well practiced in presenting complex, technical information shifting the vernacular for each audience. By using easy-to-understand terms and powerful interactive methods, I clearly demonstrate and convey business and technical value proposition, as well as ROI, to win buy-in.

Known as a skilled relationship builder capable of instilling confidence and renewing credibility, I’m a much sought-after resource for turning around troubled accounts and handling high-profile, competitive, and high-risk opportunities.

As a decisive and inspirational project and team leader dedicated to continuous improvement and delivery of stellar service, I’m adept at nurturing a collaborative, high-energy culture, training and coaching both sales engineering and non-technical sales professionals in best practices, and motivating peak levels of performance.
