Theme of the next digital drink: Lead Relationship Management

Your speaker Romain SIMON (SK 2014), founder and CEO of Datananas, introduces himself:

Can you tell us about your background?

After two years of maths sup / maths spé & a year in applied mathematics, I decided to join SKEMA for its MSc in Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

After graduating in 2014 from SKEMA in Sophia-Antipolis, I decided to create Datananas, a SaaS software application for creating B2B prospect lists from professional social networks, and capable of guessing the professional email of any contact.

Today, Datananas has evolved into a more complete Lead Relationship Management software, enabling us to industrialize the prospecting of new accounts without cold calling our customers.

The company has also grown through self-financing, and now employs over 20 people (including some from Skema), with bright prospects for future growth and the ambition to revolutionize the way marketing and sales generate leads, thanks to artificial intelligence.

How has studying at SKEMA helped you in your career?

My entrepreneurial project has been nourished by the different professional experiences I've had, particularly during my gap year, when I worked as a Digital Marketing Manager and Business Developer in startups of various sizes.

What are your best memories of school?

Creating a student association (Oser Entreprendre), of which I was President, gave me my first taste of entrepreneurship.

Thanks to this, I was able, for example, to meet Gérard Pélisson, co-founder of the Accor group, whom we invited to a conference at SKEMA.

Do you have any advice for graduates interested in working in your field?

If there's one thing I think is important in digital in general, but even more so in SaaS startups like Datananas, it's the ability to learn quickly.

Being curious and resourceful more than makes up for the lack of years of experience, in my opinion.
