Here are a few more kickass members of our international team.

Maxime has more than 10 years of experience in graphic design and web development. He holds a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence from Shanghai Jiao Tong University（上海交通大学）and graduated from a top engineering school in France: Ecole Centrale Lille. At the beginning of 2007, Maxime decided that he was fed up with the cog-like atmosphere of web & software development; thus, Ekohe was founded. Today, Maxime works as a web developer and manages Ekohe. When Maxime isn’t working—which is just about never—he travels the world. Every holiday, he finds himself somewhere new to explore.

Originally from Tianjin, China, Maggie moved to Shanghai in 2002 for academic purposes, graduating from Fudan University with a degree in tourism management. She started her career as a naming consultant at a branding agency. She joined Ekohe in 2008, starting with 4 others in product testing, web-strategy consulting, and project management. In 2014, she grew along with her brilliant team and was promoted to managing director of Ekohe Shanghai. Soon after, she became the COO, ensuring that our global offices are growing and developing as expected. Maggie has over 10 years experience in market research, branding & digital consulting, project management, business exploration, and team management. 

Due to her vivacious spirit, Maggie has no problem trying new things. She loves yoga and plays a mean game of badminton. She also recently took up Chinese painting and violin. It's never too late!

A bit of a ’Super Mario’ in the digital arena, Feisal has launched a number of startups, and also worked in product development, management consulting, online marketing, business development, and UX research. He led the digital practice for two NYC-based agencies, managing relationships and roadmaps for a number of Fortune 500 clients. He also managed Merrill Lynch’s ML.com, and the US portal for National Grid, one of the largest utilities in the country. Beyond the business world, Feisal's been a music journalist and techno DJ for over 10 years, and he recently wrote, produced, and directed a cartoon series on Youtube called Big Kids Way, to help families and children with autism.

Tiphaine hails from the amazing city of London, where she majored in multimedia technologies at the University of Greenwich. She was completely in love with the city, but decided that she was ready for change and set off to discover Asia. Shortly after, she joined the Ekohe family as a savvy project manager, and has since moved on to Head of Project Management Office. These days, Tiphaine acts as an expert in juggling schedules, scope, and contracts, while deftly handling client concerns. She greatly enjoys working with people and leads her team with cohesion and passion. In her free time, Tiphaine dreams about a singing career; all her colleagues are still in awe of her amazing performances during Karaoke.

John joins us most recently from Race21, the digital transformation arm of Canada’s largest diversified resource company where he led the User Experience design of their data platform.  He has had a few other stops in his 20 year design career that include Creative Director and Head of Design posts in branded consumer goods that include Converse / Nike, John Fluevog, and K-Swiss APAC.  

John is also an experienced educator, having been an instructor and speaker at Emily Carr University, SFU, Art Center College of Design, and FIDM.  John holds a BA in Psychology, BSc in Industrial Design, and Masters Degree in Digital Media. John was born and raised in Vancouver BC and returns after 15 years living abroad. John’s near term goal is to advance an AI-augmented Design vision for Ekohe.  His personal interests include electronic music production, wood-working, and spending time with his family.

Keira graduated from Carnegie Mellon University where she learned first things about machine learning. This subject matter soon became her career. She has 5 years experience of experimenting with machine learning models and tailoring them to help with real-world business problems. In her free time, she has a keen interest in reading about various topics and the most recent one is interior design.

What's Up?

When he was a child, Mel dreamed of being a mechanical engineer. As he grew up, he found many parallels between the computer world and that of the mechanical world, which sparked his interest in becoming a software developer. He graduated from Wuxi Institute of Technology majoring in Software Engineering and now specializes and enjoys Ruby, Python, and DevOps.  In his free time he likes to cook and has recently started learning how to play the guitar. He dreams of walking the Nepal Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) Trek alone one day.
