As an authentic Gaul, Stan fell in a pot when he was a child. But it was a special dish, made of newspapers, Internet, food, technology, city of Paris, family and so on….

Consequently, he graduated at the Assas-Panthéon University of… law in Paris in the 90’s. Naturally, Stan almost never worked as a lawyer; instead he’s had already jumped in the Internet train — which was arriving in France — and worked as project manager for the largest French publishers during 15 years: The Regional Daily Press Association, Hachette Filipacchi Media, Lagardère, Le Figaro.

After that, he ran his own businesses: Wealthinside, a press agency that provided non-financial information on listed companies and Demets, a restaurant that provided an “authentic and practical seasonable French cuisine” to Parisian workers in a hurry. When he met with AREA 17’s team, Stan was an independent Internet consultant.
