Pierre-Olivier Carles’s Summary

As Stonfield InWorld's co-founder, I help companies in implementing Internet AND Virtual Worlds solutions in coherence with their strategy. We are mainly working on marketing, e-Learning and e-Business projects for clients such as Suez, Saint-Gobain, Crédit Agricole, the French Navy, etc...
As a "Golden Solution Provider", we are providing A-to-Z Virtual Worlds projects, from consulting to execution.

At Kipost, I also spend a part of my time in advising, financing or supporting Internet entrepreneurs from seeds or early-stage steps.

With Stonfield Team Services, my third company, I help clients in achieving their goals or fixing their team's issues by mixing Stonfield's services (such as HR Consulting, Corporate Events, Training, Team Coaching, Internet tools and Virtual Worlds...).

At Labotec, we’ve come to realize that some of the best ideas come from the most uncommon places. There are a myriad of needs, pain points, and use cases in the world, and no one person can come up with every single one of them. For that reason, we’ve decided to found a business that would enable everyday people to put their ideas into action. Our company is here to reward the creative types that see things in the world that others have missed; that see opportunity where others have been satisfied with the status quo.

Pierre-Olivier Carles’s Specialties:

- Consulting and execution on Virtual Worlds projects or strategy
- Build or support fast growing companies of the IT and Internet sector
- Improving Fortune 500 teams' performances
- Bringing brilliant visions from ideas to App for mobiles (iPhone, Android, Blackberry)
