Virgile DELPORTE

Summary

✨ "The most important asset of a company is its people". 💡 Over the two and half past decades in miscellaneous start-up tech projects, I have been lucky to work with some extremely brilliant minds, learning every single day while delivering strong results. One of the key findings: whatever the invention and technology assets you have in your hands, the most important fuel of the company is its talents and partners, aligned under a clear vision, to execute the mission. 🎯 My goal is to only work with excellent staff and partners, valuing hard work in an even more fun work environment. 🚀 Between 1999 and 2005, I was part of Virtools, a company offering an outstanding software, allowing designers to build interactive 3D application & games in record time, for online delivery. I headed European sales then moved to Montreal to setup the North American subsidiary and was part of its Comex. 🏢 In 2005, we sold the company to Dassault Systèmes (www.3ds.com) the second largest software company in Europe, specialized in 3D Product Life Cycle Management (Catia, Solidworks etc.). Between 2006 and 2010, I was VP Electronic Entertainment, in charge of building up the entertainment arm of 3DVIA, a new brand of Dassault Systemes. 💼 In 2010, I founded a consulting company called Workogether, operating in the electronic entertainment field. Between 2010 and 2012 as an external consultant and member of the board, I joined SoftKinetic, a pioneer provider of 3D vision and gesture recognition technologies (hardware, software and content), to lead Sales & Marketing initiatives. While I was there, the company grew from 20 to 110 people, closing major industrial partnerships. The company was then acquired by Sony. 🏆 Since early 2013, I'm the co-founder and CEO of Testamento, a SaaS insurtech / fintech helping financial institutions including Allianz and Generali boost their revenues, compliance and value added into the life segment.
