Mobile Internet entrepreneur & consultant
Brussels Area, Belgium
My golf teacher always says that this game is a delicate alchemy of technique, rythm and mental. I believe this can also be applied to business, and especially in the field of IT / new technologies. A good team and a good technology, the capacity to deliver at the right time, while keeping the faith during the downs of every start-up life... Amazed by the Internet, initially on the web in 1995 and on the mobile screen today, I am an experienced Internet entrepreneur based in Brussels, Belgium. I specialize today in mobile applications, working as a consultant or for my own projects. I have created several companies in B2B and B2C sectors. I have worked for 3 years on Moblr, the first free content based mobile social network (www.moblr.com). Our new service, BuddyMob, is an open mobile social software allowing instant communications and micro-blogging updates to different platforms, including Google Android and Apple iphone.

Mobile applications & services
Kiboo was founded in 2005 in Belgium by three French entrepreneurs, who are still managing the company, with the aim to develop new applications and business models in the mobile industry. Our initial vision was that with the deployment of new networks, tariff plans and newer handsets, mobile Internet would become the most prevalent access mode to the web and that communities would take over brands and traditional media in attracting users.
Our initial vision still holds true today.
After successfully launching sms and wap communities in Belgium and France, Kiboo launched its groundbreaking mobile community application Moblr, in beta throughout 2006, in fall 2007
Kiboo will deliver in fall 2008, its next generation BuddyMob application, which it hopes will revolutionize mobile social networking.
Kiboo is privately held and has been profitable since its inception.
