  Emakina

  (Public Company; 51-200 employees; ALEMK.BR; Internet industry)

  February 1998 — February 2004 (6 years 1 month)

  The today Emakina is the result of the merge of three companies : Emalaya (founded by Denis Steisel), Ex-Machina (founded by Brice Le Blevennec and Catherine de Carpentrie) and Net at work (that I co-founded).
  
  "From the convergence of these three companies into a single locus of competencies, the 'Emakina' brand -- a contraction of 'Emalaya' and 'Ex Machina' – was born."
  
  Emakina is now one of the leading european web agencies.
  I'm no more a partner there.

• Managing partner

  Virtuo

  (Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Information Technology and Services industry)

  1996 — 1998 (2 years )

  Virtuo was the producer of a CD-ROM about Magritte.
  Here are some press reviews we've received:
  
  "Yet the Belgian designers have excelled to produce one of the richest CD Roms this year. They have had fun with Magritte's images without mocking them..."
  Sunday Times, rating 10/10
  
  "A masterwork, probably the first real masterpiece on a CD-Rom dedicated to a painter. Everything is magnificent. The greatest compliment to make about this CD-Rom is that it is impossible to describe. It is an hyper media, a real one, which is not linear. Would it be possible to ask the authors to find a popular painter which will inspire them - even if he's not belgian? That would probably help all the CD-Rom's publishers and their clients to understand what computers may bring to art."
