Who we are
-
Loic Moisand, Co-founder and CEO
Loic co-founded Synthesio in 2006 with the original idea of providing marketing and communication departments with monitoring and analytics services tailored for the web.
Loic is an international speaker at social media conferences and events in Europe and the U.S. (Social Media Summit, TechtocTV, Buzz Marketing Vienna, etc.), but when the speaking engagements are done, there’s a good chance you’ll find him skiing with his wife in the French Alps or travelling the world on his latest adventure…
Under his leadership, Synthesio has achieved record breaking growth in revenue and clientele every year since its founding, and opened offices in both the United States and the United Kingdom in 2010 to keep up with growing demand worldwide.
Loic holds an MBA from ESSEC Business School, Paris.

Thibault holds a MSc in Computer Science from INSA Lyon and a MBA from ESSEC Business School Paris.
