Who is Oliver Watte?
Senior developer turned digital entrepreneur in Guadeloupe
Olivier Watté — everyone calls him Oliver — is the founder of Kimoun. Trained in software engineering, he built his career across France, Italy and the French Caribbean: technically demanding projects inside large organisations, then technical management of a Caribbean internet provider, then open-source entrepreneurship in Guadeloupe.
For 25 years, Oliver worked in environments where technology is a strategic lever for business. Large organisations that know how to invest, measure and steer their digital strategy. In Guadeloupe, most businesses share the same needs — without the same resources or the same frameworks. Kimoun grew from that gap: making senior expertise available to organisations that would otherwise never have access to it.
One point of contact. A global vision. A genuine local anchor — for over 20 years.

The observation
What was missing in Guadeloupe
Web and marketing tools promised equal access for large and small organisations alike. That promise was real. It has not been delivered. The 2025 IEDOM report confirms it: the gap is widening.
Large organisations know how to invest
Dedicated budgets, in-house teams, specialist providers — big businesses have the resources and the investment culture to steer their digital strategy.
Small businesses operate under pressure
Micro-enterprises, SMEs, associations: resources are tight, immediate priorities dominate, strategy is often instinctive. Not from lack of intelligence — from structural constraint.
The web has not yet delivered for local businesses
Online consumption is growing in Guadeloupe, but local commerce is declining. What was missing: an organisation able to adapt the proven methods of large businesses to the reality of smaller ones.
Kimoun: senior expertise at small-business scale
The same level of rigour and strategic vision as a large agency — adapted to your reality, your budget and your territory. From Le Moule, with a tight-knit team and direct access.
The Kimoun approach
Technical expertise, communications and local knowledge — one address
Large agencies serve large clients. Kimoun serves you. Same level of expertise, same strategic rigour — adapted to your reality, your budget and your territory.
An identity that holds, project after project
Your clients find you on Google, on a flyer, on your website — and two years later, on a new campaign. The visual and editorial thread holds together. If you don't have the time or budget for a full overhaul, we pick up where we left off, not from scratch.
An identity that holds over time. We pick up where we left off, not from scratch.
One brief, one number, one invoice
One point of contact who handles everything: a website to redo, a Google listing to optimise, a T-shirt or business card to reprint. You explain your business once. One clear quote, straightforward invoicing, no back-and-forth between suppliers.
One contact, one quote, one invoice. You explain your business once.
When something needs to move, you know who to call
A campaign to launch next week. A logo tweak. A supplier pushing you on a deadline. No time to wait five business days: WhatsApp, phone, email — reply the same day.
WhatsApp, phone, email. Reply the same day, not in business days.
What they say
Projects delivered, concrete feedback
Associations, small businesses, freelancers — professionals from Guadeloupe who have worked with Oliver Watte and the Kimoun team.
🌐 Visibilité webOur nonprofit’s website was slow and invisible on Google. Since Oliver took over the project, we rank first on Google in Guadeloupe and Martinique. All our members can publish, and we have since carried out other projects together with the same success.
🖨️ ImpressionOliver handles my email and communication materials day to day. But what really struck me: a tile pump part that was impossible to find in Guadeloupe — his team modeled and 3D printed it in a few days. My job could go on. Created by Kimoun, made in Guadeloupe.
🎨 Identité & communicationOur team is spread across Guadeloupe, Martinique, mainland France, and London. Oliver guided us through the graphic design, logo, editorial guidelines, and website structure. His availability and methodical approach enabled us to complete the project and reunite the team around clear and shared objectives.
