Personal Details

Bio

Engineer in computer science and Entrepreneur. Cofounder of Storify.com, the largest social media curation platform used by top publishers, brands and organizations around the world (CNN, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, BILD, The White House, The United Nations, Ford, IBM, TED, ...). Acquired by Livefyre in 2013 (acquired by Adobe in 2016).

Now cofounder/CEO of OpenCollective.com. A new form of association to enable the Internet generation to fund communities in full transparency.

I believe that we are living a new renaissance. Technology empowers people to become producers and creators instead of passive consumers. Internet is a collaboration platform where everyone has a role to play. So go excite some electrons and empower people around you to contribute to this new world.
