Jean-Pascal MACCHI Appointed New CEO of IKOULA
After joining the SEWAN group at the end of September 2021, IKOULA is starting a new chapter in its history, by announcing the arrival of Jean-Pascal MACCHI as CEO.
With more than 20 years of experience in the world of web hosting and telecoms, Jean-Pascal will take charge of the complete management of IKOULA and its subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Spain. His objective will be to support the company in its development both externally and internally within the SEWAN group, and to strengthen its position among the European Cloud leaders.
“We are delighted to welcome Jean-Pascal into the SEWAN group, and more particularly as the CEO of IKOULA,” commented Alexis de Goriainoff, co-founder and CEO of SEWAN. “His solid experience acquired among others at Hexanet and Adista make Jean-Pascal the ideal person to take the reins of IKOULA and put to music the synergies that already exist with SEWAN.”
"Being based in the Reims region, I have known IKOULA since its creation, and have carefully followed its development, masterfully led by Jules-Henri Gavetti and Caroline Mertens", continues Jean-Pascal Macchi. “At a time when the Cloud and other unified communication solutions are more than ever at the heart of business strategies, the opportunities arising from the SEWAN – IKOULA merger look very promising. In addition, the values advocated by IKOULA - and shared by SEWAN - totally echo mine: innovation, proximity, quality of service and support. This is why I am proud to be able to take up the torch of this wonderful company, and am more than ever looking forward to pooling my expertise with that of the Ikoulians, to build the professional solutions of tomorrow. »

Based on this operation, the group's valuation reaches €1 billion, making I-care a unicorn. "Becoming a unicorn is a symbolic milestone.
