Julien Codorniou is a former VC in Paris, and more recently a former auditor with Ernst & Young Entrepreneurs, where he worked with many high-tech and high profile companies, in the team of Franck Sebag & Beatrice Delaunay.
Microsoft has just poached him: Codor (that is his online handle) started there 2 working days ago: he's in charge of evangelizing start-ups and VCs in choosing the best technology for their ventures, and guess what, it will be a MS product!
And last but not least, Julien is the co-author of a new book coming out this october about a very very successful high-tech company. I've read it: lots of good stuff, although I'm sworn to absolute secrecy until it is on the shelves near you.
Well done Microsoft on an excellent choice.
Update: Julien tells us now publicly on his blog what the book is all about: the Kelkoo success story !
