Jean-David Bar

Co-founder – CEO – Balance Director

Motivation: I want to channel my energy into things that make sense. Throughout my career I have worked on corporate social responsibility. But that was not enough. I felt the need to do more, to get more involved in making direct positive impact. So I embarked on the entrepreneurial path with WE DO GOOD. This has allowed me to progress in areas that are close to my heart: giving everyone the opportunity to act according to their means, working together on collective intelligence and participatory democracy, promoting initiatives, thinking about sustainable economic models, sharing value …

Background: Master’s in Management at Audencia Business School, Nantes. Two years of experience as a marketing & CSR consultant, in charge of responsible purchasing policy, and marketing manager in renewable energies.

Interests: I am passionate about social entrepreneurship, and I am a gangster at MakeSense. Apart from wanting to change the world, I also want to enjoy life, which I love to do through football, dance, martial arts, parties with friends, dating, cinema…

Susana Nunes

Associate – Chief communications officer and head of optimism

Motivation: there is so much positive energy, inspiring people and projects leading to change… what motivates me is therefore the desire to foster and spread that optimism, to help create a favorable and fair environment for greater common sense, creativity and sharing! I have worked for companies, associations, public bodies… one thing has become obvious to me: we would gain a lot if we gave more space to collective intelligence and each individual’s power to act.

Background: Master’s in Communication at Sciences Po Paris, six years of experience as a communication officer.

Interests: I have some difficulty separating work from my areas of interest because I am mainly involved in projects that are close to my heart! But I really love traveling, literature, cities like Istanbul and Lisbon, chatting with passionate people, nature, all types of cats…and eating well!

Emilien Schneider

Co-founder – Chief Coder and head of pragmatism

Motivation: Since the ecological emergency really hit home with me, I have wanted to combine my IT development skills with a project that has a positive influence on this issue.

When we start to take an interest in it, we quickly realize that mere investment in environmental projects is not enough. However, there is no shortage of innovative initiatives and there are many project ideas to start the energy transition and reposition the economy.

We have set up a website that brings together project creators and a community of dynamic and positive people, while allowing people with limited means to participate in the launch of great adventures. That is what motivates me most.

Background: professional degree at IUT Metz, three-year computer science degree at the University of Metz. Nine years of experience as a software and web developer.

Interests: I’m addicted to The X-Files, Mario Kart, Football Manager, Jurassic Park, and a whole bunch of manga and comics. So I haven’t changed much in the last 20 years. I also love sunflower seeds and playing five-a-side football with good people.

Adrien Dehelly

Co-founder, Chief Counsel and Head of Metaphors

Motivation: passionate about entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity in general, my ambition is to find ways to make social entrepreneurs successful or to make entrepreneurs more socially engaged.

We aim to support two types of projects: those that have a good business model but also wnat to have a positive effect on the world around them, and those that have a positive effect but lack the means to develop them. I believe that crowdfunding as a vehicle for communication, testing and, of course, funding offers the best opportunity to develop social entrepreneurship.

Background: Master’s in Law at Lille Catholic University, Master’s in Management at Audencia Business School Nantes. 3 years of experience in banking.

Interests: apart from my interest in entrepreneurship and eco tourism, I am passionate about history and politics. I occasionally play squash and five-a-side football, as well as rugby, but only between December and March and in a bar with a beer in hand.
