Biography

A graduate of ESSEC business school, Arnaud began his career on the other side of the Atlantic with Total. In 1997, he returned to France and joined KPG on consulting assignments in mergers & acquisitions and knowledge management. Originally from Dunkirk, but a former student at Saint Omer and Valenciennes, he returned to his native Nord at the dawn of the new millennium. He joined the 3Suisses group, where he was in charge of cross-functional projects, before becoming CEO of 2XMoinsCher.com.

A man of process and organization, Arnaud is an entrepreneur with a strong commitment to excellence in all areas, whether personal or professional. He is – as he likes to define himself – a free soul who is willing to listen to his intuitions while never neglecting factual elements.

An eco-citizen, Arnaud is very attached to 2 initiatives launched by Tikamoon: the TikaGreen program, a unique sustainable development plan, based on tangible evidence and certified by recognized partners, and the eco note which guides customers in a more responsible purchasing approach. The CEO makes no secret of his pride in these two fine projects. In his view, it’s essential for every company to take action to reduce its environmental impact.

Involved in the local economy, he is a member of the Cht’e-commerçants association, with whom he shares feedback and best practices during convivial meetings.

A great listener, this manager puts people at the heart of his concerns and seeks the best for everyone. He maintains simple, genuine relationships of trust with his staff. A benevolent manager who advocates “good collective energy”, excellence and happiness at work.
