About

Yoono's mission is to help you stay connected to your friends and family, discover cool new stuff, and allow you to easily share and discuss your discoveries with the people you care about. We've been around since 2005 but honestly we feel like we're just getting started! We have a management team with experience from companies such as Netscape, AOL, eBay, and Yahoo!, a world class development team and a refrigerator that sometimes has cold beverages. Yoono is funded by AGF Private Equity, one of France's leading venture capital investors.

Pascal Josselin, CEO and co-founder

Prior to founding Yoono, Pascal was founder and co-president of an innovative performance-driven marketing Agency in Paris, CRM Company Group, which he took public on the French stock exchange. Previously Pascal was in charge of European Operations at Fi System, a major public European Web Agency, where he was also a member of the Board of Directors. While at Fi System, he was responsible for 5 countries and was an active participant in the European "web revolution" from 1999 to 2002. Pascal started his career as a founding member and President of a leading independent DM Agency which was acquired by Fi System in 1999. Pascal graduated from ESC Rouen, graduate school of management. In his spare time, Pascal wishes he had more spare time.

Laurent Querel, CTO and co-founder

Prior to co-founding Yoono, Laurent served as the CTO for iomedio where he helped design software for companies who published directories to the web. He began his career as a development engineer with Fi System, integrating specialized services on the Web. Promoted to technical consultant, he became a recognized expert in distributed architecture and application servers. Laurent graduated from EPITA (computing and engineering college, France) with a degree in Artificial Intelligence and also holds a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from Universite Pierre et Marie Curie. Laurent doesn't like to skip dessert.

Regan Fletcher, VP Business Development

Over the past seven years, Regan has built Sales and BizDev teams for three startups, all of which had successful exits. Bitpipe and KnowledgeStorm were each acquired by TechTarget in separate transactions and Right Media was acquired by Yahoo!. Regan joined Yoono in 2007 to oversee business partnerships from the San Francisco office. Regan graduated with a degree in Economics from Princeton University, where he also played varsity hockey. Regan has accumulated over a dozen concussions so his wife very much wishes he would leave his hockey days behind him.

Todd Pringle, VP Product Marketing

Todd has worked at consumer focused internet companies large and small for the last decade. Prior to joining Yoono, he ran Product Management for AirPlay, a start up which produces mobile and web based versions of play along as you watch live TV games for the NFL, NBA, Deal or No Deal, Jeopardy, Big Brother, and more. Previously Todd worked in various senior product roles at eBay (Personalization, Digital Goods & Strategic Partnerships), AOL (Digital Music, Video, and Instant Messaging), and Netscape, where he was the product manager for the Netscape browser. In a previous life, he was a Lieutenant in the US Navy. Todd graduated magna cum laude from UCLA with a degree in Business Economics and holds an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Todd owns 12 pairs of Puma sneakers (at last count).

Guillaume Thonier, VP Engineering

Guillaume worked for over 5 years for Stanford and NASA developing advanced network protocols for use in the International Space Station. In 2005, he founded Wambo, a VC backed company focused on building a next-generation distributed data storage system. Guillaume graduated from Ecole Polytechnique in France and holds a Master of Science with Distinction in Research in Computer Science from Stanford University. When he is not working late hours at Yoono, Guillaume can be seen on a racetrack driving a Lotus Elise with a serious attitude problem.
