About

I am a serial entrepreneur. I have managed several start-ups to success, and also decided to close a few accepting failures... Today, my main focus is Scality which I co-founded in 2009. We are well on our path to success, beeing recognized as a Leader in our industry by both Gartner and IDC. I am also a commited ambassador of the #FrenchTech movement, with a desire to shine this unknown dynamic gem in the world. I am passionate about entrepreneurship and the "Art of Management". C reating a culture that is respectful of every individual, joyful, and yet delivers exceptional results is an art, not a science. It takes constant learning and refinement. I enjoy life with my wife - also an entrepreneur - see www.leslunes.com for awesome eco friendly ready-to-wear clothing - and 3 children in San Francisco, and continue non profit comitment through our Sugar Foundation. Oh, and I am also an avid sailor and kitesurfer, member of The Galion Project.
