Cyril created Hi -Media in 1996, when he was 24 just after a master degree in Business and a degree in Politics. Hi Media was at first a pan European advertising network in the early 2000’s. We’ve diversified our business towards micropayments and publishing in 2003 and are now one of the biggest on line media group in Europe besides being the leading advertising network and the leading micropayment solution in the EU. We also act as a global publisher since we’ve purchased Fotolog which is the leading social Network in Latin American with more than 30M unique visitors per month.

Hi Media is at the heart of the one line media business and its new challenges from social networking to advertising or inventing new payment methods. Hi Media employs 500 people over 9 countries in Europe + US and Brazil and generates more than 200 M euros of turnover proforma in 2009.

I am also personally particularly interested in the new paradigm of the journalism on line and the music publishing on line ; therefore I sit on the board of Rue89.com a French on line news site, and Believe.com a European on line music label.”
