I am a change-maker because I believe we all can be change-makers... and that's a change in itself

I believe in the entrepreneurial spirit which can lead to changes, I am fascinated by Ashoka's vision, I can listen to bill Drayton for hours...

I am an entrepreneur at heart, and I wish every one could make a living, I believe that in the developing world we could improve many things with much less than in the more developed world. I believe in the power of technology and education to help the developing world. I currently work on a big dream project... iLearn4Free, the idea is to use mobile and web technology to improve literacy in mother tongue. It has been proven by many studies that a child need to become literate in his mother tongue before learning to read in an other language. I believe that current digital technology can enable us to provide to many children the opportunity to learn at a low cost. You can watch a video giving more info about the project http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-aVvJXne_M

I have an MBA, and I worked for 10 years in various companies in France, setting up new organization and softwares. Then I have set up a real estate business, and I recently created an other business making cooking applications for iPhones and children interactive book for the iPad. In 2010 I founded iLearn4Free.org, a non profit which mission is to create application to teach kids how to read with a mobile application in their native tongue. This my vision http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93kyI_mg5bs
