Loïc Bar's Linkedin Analytics

In the ever-evolving world of technology and innovation, my journey began with a deep-seated belief in the power of technology to positively transform society. This belief was not just a guiding principle; it was the cornerstone of my journey. My early years were shaped by the incredible experiences at McKinsey & Company, where I could work internationally and I learn valuable skills that would lead to my entrepreneurial journey. The creation of Opinum was a turning point. Co-founding this company, I found myself at the forefront of developing groundbreaking solutions for managing timeseries data in energy and water utilities. The role of CEO was more than a title; it was a responsibility to drive change, to lead a team towards creating something truly impactful. Our work gained recognition as we collaborated with major industry players such as Enedis, EDF, Sibelga, Ores, ... I successfully exited Opinum in late 2021 and I'm now part of the Itineris group, continuing leading Opinum for more impact. But the entrepreneurial spirit in me was restless, seeking new challenges. Thus, Coophub was born in 2019. This new venture was a leap into the world of cooperatives, aiming to empower citizen-backed cooperatives with state-of-the-art software solutions. From managing shareholder subscriptions to handling dividends, Coophub was all about simplifying the complex, making the cooperative model more accessible and effective. Parallel to my entrepreneurial pursuits, I found another outlet for my passion – sharing. I wrote four books on technology, I explored the depths of my field, sharing knowledge and insights. My contribution to the field extended beyond writing, as I developed the Sustainable Business Canvas. This tool was not just an innovation; it was a response to the need for businesses to consider their broader impact on society and the environment, refining the concept of the traditional Business Model Canvas. As my journey continues, the fusion of technology and societal benefit remains at the heart of my endeavors. Whether it's through leading companies, writing books, or creating innovative tools, my goal is unwavering – to harness the power of technology in creating a better world.
