Co-founder at Work With Island - Hiring !

Paris, Île-de-France, France

About

I climb mountains 🏔 on weekends and sell islands 🏝 on weekdays. On weekdays, I focus on expanding Work With Island in Europe, a company I co-founded with a long-time friend in 2019. We manufacture, in France 🇫🇷, soundproof office pods and phone booths for the modern workplace. In less than 5 years, we've grown the company to over €70 million in cumulative revenue (€20M+ in 2025), supported by a team of 40 amazing people across Europe 🇪🇺. On weekends, I escape the city to climb 🧗 and ski tour ⛷️ in the Alps 🏔.
