Gilles Babinet successfully created and managed various successful businesses as CEO. At the age of 24, he set up Absolut, a consultancy firm specializing in product design and marketing that became, under his management, a major consultancy group in its field in France. Through Absolut, Gilles was involved in the emerging Entertainment mobile market from the very beginning and sold Absolut at the beginning of 2000 to Euro-RSCG, a worldwide communications group, in order to fully dedicate himself to the creation of Musiwave.
