President and Founder
Christopher Potter created the 1st stock market website in France in 1996, then the 1st Swiss online private bank in 1998, and until 2009 was Chief Information Officer of the Crédit Agricole Group's Internet stock market platforms (>10 billion euros processed/year).
His 12 years spent in the banking sector and the experience acquired in the field of information systems enabled him to identify the weaknesses of the tools used in the majority of organizations, rarely centered on the user. The realization that software is too 'technical', and the certainty that Open Source is the model of the future, led him to conceptualize a collaborative platform with a unique user experience.
The result was the GoFAST collaborative platform, based on the best of Open Source. His ambition: to offer a serious European alternative to Office365/Sharepoint and Google Docs/Drive, in order to improve information management and collaboration within organizations. GoFAST eliminates the chaos associated with information overload and dispersed content (e-mail, file servers), and boosts organizational productivity.
