Their goal : Optimize daily operational management and customer experience

The Qondor project was born during a meeting organized by Réseau Entreprendre Nord towards the end of January 2020.
With Antoine mentioning his work on research and development of electronic equipments and platforms responding to geolocation issues, Benoit quickly associated this with use cases in the practice of golf, which he had already identified years ago.

In fact, Benoît, with a great passion for golf and nourishing frustrations as a golfer, discerned answers in Antoine's technological vision.

Due to Antoine's 10 years of experience at Decathlon in customer services, the benchmark of frustrations, ideas and offers notioned by Benoit was quickly structured to assess how pertinent this could be to the market.

It was after numerous interviews with golf directors and a survey of over 600 golfers that all fundamentals of the project were confirmed. Qondor's innovative solutions have been available since the beginning of 2021 in the golf universe with many customers in France and abroad.

In 2022, Qondor continues to evolve by adding a new activity : watersports, where a lot of customers benefit from the dedicated solutions in France and internationally.

Benoit LESUR

Co-founder & CEO

Passionate about business development and a born entrepreneur, Benoit creates his first companies en 2003 and 2004. He then consolidates his perception of organizations by merging management committees and managing major P&Ls within large digital groups (HP, Ares, Econocom, Visiativ).

He is strategic, pragmatic, passionate and customer-oriented. With all these qualities combined, he constantly brings up new ideas, creates new services and new business models.

Amongst his greatest successes :

• opening of French speaking markets (Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands) for a foreign group that has become a major actor
• building an organization of 150 people in 2 years

It is also with this mindset that Benoit shares his experiences by accompanying start-ups in the development of thier business either by volunteer via the Réseau Entreprendre Nord or through his consulting activities.

Antoine DURAND

Co-founder et CTO

What drives Antoine is generating value through useful technologies, solving problems and creating new fonctions.
He placed his convictions at the service of Decathlon for 10 years by piloting international teams and intrapreneurial projects in digital innovation, working in collaboration with tens of thousands of employees and serving hundreds of thousands of sport people.

Antoine also had the chance to work in London, which has permitted him to have a good knowledge of the British culture and values advocated overseas.

On his return to France, he principally created an intrapreneurial approach, Decathlon Labs : a laboratory for research and development where the future of digital retail was imagined.

For this, Antoine knew how to surround himself with developers and project managers to deploy innovations in various countries around the wolrd (including China, Russia, Hong Kong, Brazil etc) each with distinct specificities on customer experience.

Antoine is in charge of the technological roadmap strategy.

Their duo makes a solid and very experienced one, based on optimal complementarity and characters for the company's strategy.

Thus, Qondor finds a perfect balance between ambition and operational declination.
