I still remember telling Pascal Mercier, Guillaume Teboul, and Jean de La Rochebrochard that I was starting my first company (KelDoc) in 2012 with Nicolas Douay and Fred Malamitsas. The ride has been wild since then 🔥 In 2016 I started angel investing in some of the most iconic French founders like Rodolphe A., Sacha Lazimi, Gilles Bertaux, Anton Soulier or Jean-Daniel Guyot. Then I teamed up with Thibaud Elziere, Nicolas Steegmann, Julien ROMANETTO and Frédéric Montagnon to start a very discreet VC fund in Paris 🤐 💰 But I still had this itch inside my body and when I installed an eSIM for the first time in September 2022, that itch became REAL. I have always been passionate about telecoms since my grandfather and I connected for the first time to the internet using a 14k modem in my native town of Bilbao. I just didn't imagine that such wonderful human beings (Mehdi Chraibi, Jérémy Gotteland and Anne-Carole Coen) would share this dream of trying to change telecoms forever and make the sector accessible, simple and transparent! I'm super proud of the team we're building and very thankful to all the people that have backed our dream Pierre-Eric Leibovici Chris Corbishley Rory Mounsey-Heysham Mauricio Prieto Bertrand Mabille Sebastien Texier Charles Petruccelli vytas kaikaris Stuart Greif and Shane O'Flaherty And never forget the lawyers in the post 😂 The dream team at McDermott, Will & Emery are the absolute best in town and they have helped us navigate this process swiftly...thank you Diana Hund and Marie Mouly!!! Stay tuned, this team will fight very hard to bring the telecom sector to the very top of NPS rankings!!!

In June 2022, together with a group of talented colleagues, we launched BRKZ, a startup with the ambitious goal of transforming the construction industry.
