Guilhem Isaac Georges is our new VP of Sustainability. He’s been passionate about sustainability since he was young and loves reading academic studies and technical reports on energy and climate issues.
He spends most of his free time renovating his country house in the South West of France and is a music fiend! He also loves cooking and discovering new restaurants in Paris (it’s safe to say, he’s fitting right in).
And now for the quick-fire round 🔥 🔥 🔥
Biggest UX pet peeve: La Depeche website, it’s the local newspaper from the area I grew up in the South West of France. Just too many ads. It’s impossible to close it and access any content.
Best customer experience: Amazon. Everything is simple and smooth. The delivery service is also extremely efficient.
Most used app: FIP! It’s a French radio app that’s simple, well-designed, and plays great tracks. Fun fact, it’s also Elon Musk's favorite radio station 😉
Best sustainability tip: Measure your carbon footprint with CoolClimate Network or the app designed by Greenly. It calculates your emissions based on your expenses and is directly linked to your credit card.
Biggest work fail: I used to work for France’s Minister of Ecology. During a work trip, I was in charge of the Minister's speech. Long story short, somehow my daughter had gotten her hands on the papers and drawn all over them. Thankfully, I had extra copies with me (and had to run across the huge conference room to bring them to her 🤦🏻♂️).
Favorite podcast: I am a big fan of historical podcasts. "La Marche de l'histoire" is my favourite.
Top tune: Probably "Give up the Funk" b Parliament
