Alexandre Taillefer to run Bixi
Not sure how I feel about Alexandre Taillefer being put in charge of Bixi. This is the man who ran Téo Taxi into the ground despite generous help from the Caisse de dépôt and the Fonds de solidarité FTQ, who acquired Voir in 2015 and just shut it down, and now he’s talking about revving up the electrical side of Bixi.
[Whispering] I mean, is he such a great business guy? Really?

People like that always fail up.

He’s flashy and has powerful friends, I guess.

i would say that someone that starts a company, Stingray, takes it public and now worth $400M is pretty good at business. Regarding Téo, from the start wasn’t he explicit as viewing it as a labour of love spawned from the death of his child? Perhaps his fault was underestimating the difference between a physical and digital business.
