Meet Jean, CEO
Hivebrite
A word from Jean, our CEO
Since its inception, our solution has been designed and implemented in partnership with top institutions across a wide range of sectors and countries around the world.
Our mission is to help institutions to build instrumental communities: manage “actionable” networks where users can easily reach out to each other, as well as share and access structured resources and professional opportunities.
In 7 short years, we’ve developed a powerful SaaS solution that addresses the needs of simple to complex communities.
We market mostly through referrals and word of mouth, and despite our tech origins, we understand that our business is all about people. It is through both a great product and outstanding customer relationships that we have built our reputation.
Hivebrite has quickly become the community platform of choice for many top institutions who accept all the benefits of a robust ‘Out of the Box’ SaaS solution, while still retaining the flexibility and control of a tailored approach."
