Philippe Corrot
A self‐taught business leader, Mirakl co‐founder and co‐CEO Philippe Corrot grasped the entrepreneurial possibilities of the internet from its earliest days. Philippe launched his first company at the age of 20, and started, scaled, and sold two successful digitally driven businesses between 1997 and 2005.
In 2005, in partnership with Adrien Nussenbaum, Philippe launched SplitGames, a video‐game trading platform, on the idea that marketplaces were the winning business model for eCommerce. In 2008, Fnac Group purchased SplitGames and launched the Fnac.com Marketplace based on SplitGames's technology and marketplace expertise.
In 2012, Philippe and Adrien founded Mirakl, the first marketplace software solution company. Under Philippe's leadership and product vision, Mirakl has become one of most dynamic players in global eCommerce, valued at over $3.5 billion in 2021.
Adrien Nussenbaum
Mirakl co‐founder and co‐CEO Adrien Nussenbaum began his career during the height of the dot‐com boom with successful stints as a company founder and an advisor to retailers in the throes of company turnarounds and transformations. He has remained committed to this transformation mission to this day.
In 2005, Adrien joined forces with Philippe Corrot to launch SplitGames. When SplitGames was acquired by Fnac in 2008, they worked together to support its integration into Fnac's marketplace and achieve 100% annual growth.
Since launching Mirakl with Philippe, Adrien's leadership and vision for global expansion has resulted in Mirakl powering hundreds of marketplaces in more than 40 countries, placing Mirakl at the center of the marketplace ecosystem.
