Jerome’s entrepreneurial career started with Internet-Way in 1994, a business he co-founded with Olivier Dauchot and Olivier Lemarié [2], an Internet Service Provider which he sold to UUNET [3] when it reached profitability. Jerome went on to work as the VP of products for the Europe, Middle East and Asian market for UUNET.
In 2001, Jerome became Chairman of the Board of Data Center Technology (DCT) [4], a Belgium based start-up which developed a unique Content Addressable Storage (CAS) technology, especially for the backup market.

Jérôme has also been active as a business angel and Board member in several leading technology companies, including Vision Objects ([8],[9]), the world leader in handwriting recognition, which was sold to DoubleDay in 2009.
Jérôme holds an engineering degree from the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, and a research master’s degree in Cognitive Science from Université Paris VII [10].
He lives in Mill Valley with his wife Anna, also an entrepreneur ([11]) from where he actively builds bridges between Silicon Valley and the French Tech scene [12].
Jérôme and Anna are passionate about supporting artists, teachers, and entrepreneurs who are game changers and who work hard for their dreams, while living authentic and mindful lives. Together they created the Sugar Foundation [13].
