Over seven years, he co-founded and led Nestor, a pioneering food delivery company that disrupted and redefined the lunch break experience, setting a new benchmark in the industry. After successfully growing Nestor and selling it to Elior Group at just 28, Sixte wanted to create something even more impactful.
The birth of his three children shifted his perspective and inspired a new mission. Sixte noticed the striking need for enriching and high-quality content for children in an increasingly digitized and fast-paced world. This marked the genesis of Animaj.
As the co-founder and CEO of Animaj, Sixte brings his execution expertise and entrepreneurial tenacity to his new mission: to empower the young generation by delivering exciting and engaging stories that inspire them to dream, explore, and create.
His rich academic background, a blend of technical acumen honed at CentraleSupélec and business insights nurtured at Essec Business School - both leading French institutions - equips him with a unique edge, aligning nicely with Animaj’s positioning as a media tech company.
Sixte’s vision acknowledges and embraces the rapid shift in digital media consumption, harnessing the power of cutting-edge new technologies to drive the industry toward a more innovative and creative future.
