Who is Oliver Watte?
Oliver Watte, aka Olivier Watté, is the founder of Kimoun. With roots in software development, web, and free software, he now supports businesses, associations, artisans, and project owners in Guadeloupe.
His approach is based on a simple idea: communication, online presence, internet services, and visibility materials should not be handled separately. They should work together in a clear, useful, and coherent way, in service of real-world business activity.
He settled long-term in Guadeloupe, where he built his family life and continued his entrepreneurial, technical, and community commitments. This local foundation also feeds the vision now carried by Kimoun.
Background and key milestones
Oliver’s journey was built at the crossroads of software development, internet services, technical leadership, and project support, before leading to the creation of Kimoun in Guadeloupe.
Software development and international web projects
Oliver began in software and internet engineering within the ExxonMobil group, on projects carried out in France and Italy.
Technology analysis and watch
He then joined L’Atelier BNP Paribas as an analyst, in an environment focused on innovation and digital uses.
Technical leadership in internet services
He became technical director at Mediaserv in Martinique, then in Guadeloupe, at the heart of internet access, infrastructure, and web service challenges.
Entrepreneurship and open source
After settling long-term in Guadeloupe, he founded IPEOS, a structure specialized in free software and open-source engineering in the Caribbean.
Community engagement and field observations
Through his involvement in community organizations, he observed recurring needs among entrepreneurs and association leaders: communicate better, equip themselves with suitable tools, and access clearer professional solutions.
Creation of Kimoun
He then created Kimoun to offer a more coherent response to communication, visibility, internet service, and marketing material needs in Guadeloupe.
Why Oliver created Kimoun
While working on technical, web, and entrepreneurial projects in Guadeloupe and mainland France, Oliver observed a recurring challenge: many organizations needed better communication, stronger visibility, reliable internet tools, or suitable materials, yet had to multiply points of contact or deal with unclear offers.
