Breaking Barriers: Insights From an Internet Pioneer
Description
From failing his bachelor’s degree three times to becoming the architect of Europe’s internet backbone, Raphael Maunier’s story is as unconventional as it is inspiring.
The Co-Founder and COO of OpsMill shares how a two-week Paris vacation turned into a pioneering career building internet exchanges, fighting DDoS attacks, and leading companies to acquisitions by tech giants.
Raphael talks about his bold leap into configuring Cisco routers with zero formal training, the mindset that carried him through founding France IX and Acorus Networks, and why his leadership philosophy centers on building teams of rock stars rather than chasing individual stardom.
This wide-ranging conversation explores entrepreneurship, innovation, and how automation and AI can transform human work, not replace it.
