Julien Hodara's Linkedin Analytics

Digital, Telecom and Media specialist, Music fan, Guitar collector. My current job, as my whole career, is about digital. My obsession ? My customers. I've always made sure that the customer is the center of the team attraction, should it be through offers, design, CRM or even having everyone in the team answering customers service request. I've been running Libon @Orange for the last 2 years : a simple dialing app for diasporas to call their loved ones who don’t have access to internet (yes Whatsapp) or smartphones. Revenue grew over 65% from Oct 2016 and is still growing. From August 6th and thanks to Orange and funds raised, Libon is now a separate company. ------------------ I've always been fascinated by what was yet to become the « digital world ». I’ve worked from 2000 until 2006 at Warner Music France at the Digital department. The challenge was to find money in a digital music world ravaged by P2P. In 2006 we were generating 5.2% of WMF total revenues. I went working for Novedia Consulting in Paris (450p/50M€ revenues) where I made numerous missions for European telcos. I was then hired by Orange by the end of 2009 to officially become the CEO of the subsidiary of Orange that I created: WorMee (http://www.journaldunet.com/ebusiness/telecoms-fai/raoul-roverato-interview-de-raoul-roverato-orange.shtml) During the next two years, I my activities were on core telecom works with JL Constanza, CEO of Orange Vallée, Orange’s disruptive incubator where WorMee was born within numerous digital projects. In 2013 while doing my MBA at HEC Paris, I did start to work for the Libon team, Orange OTT communication app, missioned by Orange Deputy CEO to work with C-Level Telcos around the world. In 2016, Libon pivoted to a simple app used to dial a phone number to any country in the world at the best price, scam free. In 2018, the Libon team operated a management buy out from Orange and raised funds from French tech VCs and I became CEO of the new company.
