Sylvain Perret French entrepreneur and TAKEHOLLYWOOD founding partner has enjoyed a successful, multi-dimensional career that makes him uniquely well-qualified to head up the technological and multimedia facets of this exciting new Web destination. A graduate degree in finance and marketing from the prestigious University of Geneva, Perret launched his business career spearheading myriad pioneering ventures—including Voxel (an Internet enterprise focused on Internet solutions for such clients as the BBC, Tag Heuer, Reuters, and Ray-Ban) and the documentary-production company Frame One (whose award-winning productions were broadcast by networks in France, Switzerland, and Canada). In 2003, Perret also co-founded Flybaboo (flyaboo.com), the first successful Swiss “boutique” airline (created with one airplane and one destination, Flybaboo now boasts 200 employees, five aircraft, and more than 20 destinations across Europe). With extensive, first-hand experience at the top levels of journalism, information technologies, project management, and marketing, Perret is ideally positioned to help make TAKEHOLLYWOOD the leading actors’ resource on the Web.
