The Team
Hop-Cube is an idea born from the fertile mind of 3 engineering students (Thomas Albisser, Adrien Carbonne and Romain Vailleux) during their participation in the Imagine Cup 2008 competition in the Software Design category.
Gone through a very similar cursus (Bachelor Maths and engineering graduation school EFREI), they share passion for technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. They met and learnt to know each other at the Junior-Entreprise of EFREI (SEPEFREI) while participating first project managers and then as members of the head office, President (Thomas) Vice-President in charge of Operations (Adrien) and General Secretary (Romain).
That year, they contributed to the success of the Junior-Enterprise tripling its turnover and winning the 2008 Label Communication, awarded by a jury of communication professionals.
In late 4th year of school they decide to transform the application as part of the Imagine Cup into a real business project. The roles are divided among themselves naturally: Thomas is responsible for managing the company, Adrien deals with technical aspects of various projects and Romain takes over the management of commercial relationship and image.
With the arrival of Capucine Hop-Cube mutes to become more functional: experienced in the commercial relationship, Capucine takes the direction of Sales. In addition to his duties as CEO, Thomas manages the technical development of our core applications. Romain is in charge of operating the service and ensure a link between the technical team and new customers needs.
To them three, they gather a complementary team, bringing together the key skills of a company, both technical and business.
