#23 - Olivier Bonnet // CTO BlaBlaCar
08 Apr 2021
This time I had Olivier Bonnet, the CTO of BlaBlaCar in the podcast. BlaBlaCar is the carpooling company: They own the market. They are active in 22 Countries, have 100M+ Users and acquired 12 other carpooling companies. Olivier, the CTO, joined me to talk about: * How his time at Apple taught him to think long term * 100 million users, 12 acquisitions: The strategy behind BlaCar * The complexity of route planning 🌐 * How writing 🖊️ helps people at Bla to structure their thoughts: They are writing press releases for new features, Amazon style. * You build it, you run it! How technology decision discipline works at BlaCar Was a great ride with you, Olivier! We both turned out to be a bit more Bla ;-) in this episode than we initially thought.
