Hello, I'm Michel. I joined D-EDGE in 2022, three years ago, and recently I became its CTO.

Which of D-EDGE's values resonates with you the most?
At D-EDGE, we have four core values that guide our daily work. Two of them quite resonate with me.
- The first is "We care about people." I believe it's the people who make the company and its products successful.
- The second is "We go the extra mile." We push ourselves, step out of our comfort zone, and always learning something new.
Now, as the CTO of D-EDGE, I define the company's technical vision. To do this, I need to understand the business challenges, growth targets, and market progression goals, to come up with the best technical solution to meet our development needs.
What are the main challenges you face in your job?
D-EDGE faces many technical challenges. Every day, for example, we post millions of messages on various hotel distribution platforms containing price updates or availability updates.
Also, data plays a crucial role in the daily lives of our hotel owners to optimize and maximize their revenue. Our mission is to provide them with all the tools to analyze their data, position themselves competitively and make the best decisions to run their business.
D-EDGE's technical teams are responsible for all the apps we offer to our clients. Our main mission is, of course, to provide them with the best quality of service, in terms of performance or availability, and this, from anywhere in the world. Our second mission is to continuously deliver new features to make the daily lives of our hotel owners easier.
What would you say to someone thinking about joining D-EDGE?
The employees are the heart of D-EDGE's values. We care about people. For me, I believe an employee thrives at work if they have a good work-life balance, and if in their daily life, they continue to learn and be challenged. One of the latest examples is when we organized a hackathon where our teams were able to test and understand the new technologies of AI.
Our mission is simple: simplify hospitality. To do this, we will continue to invest in innovation, automation, and the use of the latest technologies to offer a smooth, dynamic, intuitive, and fast experience for our clients.
