New and futuristic technologies that represent paradigm shifts bringing major benefits to human society is, above all, what empassions him.

Lately Jean-Charles has been contacted by the French business schools IPAG and INSEEC to introduce blockchain technology and concepts to Master students in Marketing and Communication. His lectures focus mostly on the impact of technologies on social scalability and tokenized societies.

Jean-Charles on joining iExec

“I always define a vision for the coming years. From there, I focus on structuring the strategies and daily actions required to achieve that vision.

My major task is to create the needed visibility to deploy the product worldwide. I see precisely how iExec will be a major component for breakthrough projects in AI, green IT, fog computing, IoT…

Focusing on the products and uses will allow us to provide exciting news for investors and efficient tools for developers. Working hand in hand with companies from all over the world will also be key to promote the adoption of adding blockchain to IT trends. That is also why I will represent iExec in the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance.

iExec is deeply about providing sustainable solutions for the future using state-of-the-art tools with an overriding purpose of creating genuine and massive transformations. I am honored to be part of this profound change and will do my utmost to craft and implement every possible strategy to support it.”
