ABOUT US
LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER
Enchantée and welcome to Hackcent !
The CEO, the founder, or whatever fancy title I am supposed to wear, that’s me: Cécilia Pellet-Many
I won’t say it isn’t pleasant to introduce oneself as the one who (re)think the strategies and teaching methods, letting people picture me presenting solutions and innovations to the public, fueled with passion, as if Steeve Jobs had been in the education business, but evidently, it isn’t the full scope of my work.
As in numerous young companies, this great CEO, delivering breath-taking speeches, offering life-changing trainings, and creating ground-breaking teaching material… is the one answering the phone, dealing with the mail and writing invoices…. She also books and arrange the rooms, select and order supplies. You could even find her delivering gifts or cutting and laminating cards…
But I am not alone on the boat so let me introduce you the team, the real one, the one I treasure and thank with all my heart for supporting me (with all its meanings 😊) and answering all my ideas from the most extravagant to the most ingenious ones with the professionalism and the readiness expected by the demanding and adrenaline-junkie entrepreneur I am.
THE DREAM TEAM
They always come forward and back me up with … let’s say everything. They are my life saviors (especially the personal one), my angels behind the scenes. We never thank them enough and you might never meet them but without them, nothing would be possible.
Whole-hearted thanks to Mama and Mister for their time, their everlasting support and unlimited patience with their workaholic though true loving daughter and partner.
Everybody should have the chance to meet their « business half ». Someone with whom ideas keep coming and within a 4 hour-window, you’ve build an entirely new project. Boom !
That person for me is Yassine Aychoubi, an incredible film-director and editor specialized in visual effects, owning that unique hand, making his work recognizable.
Thanks for this creating effervescence, for putting your talent at the service of Hackcent and just for being there for me.
And thanks to all my fellow entrepreneur friends with whom discussions help me question approaches propose you innovative linguistic programs.
I cannot thank Mister enough for being my official brainstormer, my accredited idea tester and my occasional feel-better maker and for his foolproof support.
Creatives shaking standards and bursting with ideas, that’s exactly what I was looking for to translate into images and videos Hackcent’s energy and innovative spirit.
Big thumbs up to the advertising agency Waouh and the production company Amplio for offering me the creative space I need, and to transform these ideas into fabulous projects.
Many thanks to all my former students for their recommendations.
And all my gratitude to my friends, former colleagues and (the nice) everyone spreading the good word…
Summer 2018. He offers free counseling to an entrepreneur to be and becomes without knowing it yet the first to ever collaborate on what’s to become Hackcent.
So it was without a hint of an hesitation that I chose him when it was time for Hackcent to grow and we needed an accounting firm.
Thanks to Yannick Valle (cabinet Expertise) for his expertise and his long-standing support.
3 spaces. 3 atmospheres. But one commun trait : the heart of their managers.
Thanks to Calliopée’s team to offer a cocoon: that cosy business center perfectly adapted to small audience meetings.
Thanks to Impact Hub’s community to offer this flexible and modular space where each project can find its place to bloom. Congrats for having created a place where business, sustainability and respect can coexist in harmony.
Last but not least, thank is given to Mylène, the owner of the Crowned Eagle bar for her extraordinary hospitality. Thanks for welcoming us in her establishment filled with the kind of energy which perfectly fits the Speakathon!
