Hello! I'm Gaël ✋Here's a snapshot of the last 15 years:🎓 Studied Strategy & Finance at HEC Montréal. Once naively predicted a rosy future for Research in Motion in 2008 and got an A+ for it. Oops! 😅🤝 Kicked off my career at Deloitte, strategizing acquisitions for private equity funds and corporations. Learned heaps about the big business world.💡 Meanwhile, a spark for entrepreneurship ignited within me.🚀 Joined Canada's real estate gem, DuProprio, helping it through acquisitions and new services. Thanks again for the amazing ride. 🇫🇷 Then, back to France, diving into startup projects, getting invaluable lessons from each venture.💼 Entered the Smiirl universe, helping transform a quirky 'Counter' concept into a must-have business tool. Propelling us to $20M+ in sales, serving 30K+ clients across 85 countries.📈 There's something electrifying about watching your business successes tick up in real time. That's the magic of Smiirl, and I'm honored to be part of countless entrepreneurial stories.🌱 Meanwhile, my passion for entrepreneurship keeps growing, as I engage in projects across Europe and North America.
