Jo Caudron

Visionary and strategist in digital innovation, author and inspiring speaker

Jo Caudron was born in 1968 (Dendermonde, Belgium), a year of change. He likes to believe that this is the reason why he is so passionate about change and innovation.

He started his first business when he was in his early twenties, back in 1993-1994. It was a webagency, actually it was the very first webagency in Belgium and one of the first online agencies in Europe. Today he is the founding partner of Dear Media, a consulting company, specialized in new media innovation.
Over the last 15 years, he was involved in a dozen of start-up companies, all in interactive media and digital innovation. Although he mainly works from Belgium, he travels a lot and has the international experience of setting up companies in Paris, Munich, London and Amsterdam.

Jo Caudron has been CEO, chairman of the board, evangelist, … but overall he considers himself an entrepreneur: someone who sees change and opportunities before the rest of the market does, and then creates business around it. And this is also what he wants to be for his customers: an advisor who thinks like an entrepreneur, someone who can introduce new ideas into an organization, but who also has the pragmatic approach to translate theory into accountable practice.
