Alex Hernandez — Co-Founder
After finishing my studies, I moved to London with a suitcase, a guitar (I never actually played guitar but was definitely believing I would) and a 1,000€ student 0% loan. After a year of doing not so interesting jobs and learning English, I somehow ended up working in recruitment, starting to open the French and Belgian markets from scratch. Loads of downs, amazing ups, building a team of 40+ multicultural people, invoicing a few M£ (circa 20 to be exact), my employer then sent me to Paris to open the French subsidiary. I was 31 and a new dad. After 2 years living in the (not so) beautiful French capital, I quit. With 0 back up plan 2 weeks later, the Covid lockdown happened F*** To make things spicier, I decided to start a company with a Belgian guy I talked to twice on Zoom call. While everyone thought it was a crazy idea, I took my chances and never looked back. After 5 years of building, failing, raising money, selling, meeting people, learning, the business took a U-turn and I decided to step down my operational role as a co-founder. Now I'm in a path of finding my next job opportunity, meeting founders, CEOs and Country Managers. Real estate projects are my #1 choice. Doing sales consulting for a few months until I find what will excite me for the next 10 years. I have also launched a project that helped 40,000 Ukrainian people to relocate through Europe in 2022. I am a board member of la French Tech Madrid I am a lecturer in Universities and Business Schools I help people find a remote job through a Masterclass I own 7 apartments in France and Spain I love meeting people with great ideas I own a 1964 Triumph Spitfire That's a bit about me
