Adrien in a few words
I am an entrepreneur, a maker, a product marketer & growth expert, a swissknife who turns ideas and tech challenges into packaged products as a business. Today, I am set to contribute to a greater goal and add value on your product and growth challenges.
I have built expertise in lean startup environment. I am at my best when it comes to designing new solutions in collaboration with other doers and creative minds at the stage of launching a product and then rolling it out.
After 5 fantastic years working as a business dev in AdTech companies for Awin (performance based marketing) followed by Credit (Programmatic buying) (2010>2015), in 2016 I took the entrepreneurial career path and ventured into the FinTech space. I founded Simulationpret.be, acting today as a leading loan aggregator and a go-to-platform for personal financing.
Meanwhile, between 2016 and 2022, I got involved in multiple ventures as product lead consultant/contractor.
- Crobox.com, BtoB e-commerce SaaS platform
- Apprz.com, email & messenger retargeting technology
- Inbeego.com, sales automation technology with conversational chatbots
...
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Described as an inspiring, curious and busy bee, I constantly did and do self-education during my free time. These two books from Tim Ferris’s 4 hours a week and David Allen’s Getting Things Done have had a profound influence on my approach to life and business.
Today, I am set to contribute to a greater goal by being part of a class A team and both building the next technologies.
