François Bieber graduated from the Ecole Centrale of Lyon in 1991. He began his career as a strategy consultant for European financial institutions, advising them on their marketing and sales strategy. In 1999, he joined Crédit Immobilier de France. In 2002, François Bieber and Kevin Hatry created the Kwanko group.

Supported by Bpifrance, the platform has won numerous awards: winner of the Ernst&Young Business of the Future Award in 2011 as well as the Ambition Award from Banque Palatine, the "Chef d'Entreprise Magazine" Trophy in 2011, Best Affiliate Platform in France in 2016, winner of the “Grand Prix de Croissance” in 2017 in the Internet category and 6 awards at the “Cas d'Or de la Performance” in 2022. Anticipating the future opportunities represented by the mobile market, François is directing the group towards a resolutely multi-channel strategy by acquiring a stake in September 2011 in Swelen, one of the pioneers of mobile advertising delivery. With these strategic acquisitions, François intends to position Kwanko as the key player in the online performance advertising sector.
