Who We Are

  • Loic Moisand CEO and Co-founder

    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 Hanin CTO and Co-founder

    As CTO of Synthesio, he is truly the brain behind Synthesio’s magic, driving major innovations (recognized by the French Ministry of Research and Development) such as multilingual information retrieval, automated content extraction, data visualization, influencer analytics, and natural language processing.

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