President & Founder
An aeronautical engineer (ESTACA engineering school), Christopher has 25 years of experience in the software and innovation sector.
Christopher Potter created the 1st website about stock exchange in France in 1996, then the 1st Swiss private online bank in 1998 and until 2009 he was the CIO of the Crédit Agricole Group's stock exchange internet platforms (> 10 billion euros processed / year).
His 12 years spent in the banking sector and his experience in the field of information systems have enabled him to identify the weaknesses of the tools used in the majority of organizations, which are rarely user-centric. The observation that software is too 'technical' and the belief that Open Source is the model of the future have led him to conceptualize a collaborative platform with a unique user experience.
Then he created the GoFAST collaborative platform, based on the best of Open Source. His ambition is to offer a serious European alternative to Office365 / Sharepoint and Google Docs / Drive in order to improve information management and collaboration within organizations. GoFAST helps to eradicate the chaos linked to over-information and the dispersion of content (messaging, file servers) and to increase the productivity of the organization.
