Standard bio · use as-is
Simon Beauloye is a Belgian entrepreneur and publisher based in Dubai. He spent a decade at Google, joining in Europe when the company was 12,000 people and finishing as Global Head of SMB Marketing in Singapore, where he ran a $1B+ advertising business across four continents. In 2017 he left to bootstrap mOOnshot digital with his wife Florine. The portfolio grew to $80M+ in sales and 100M+ users at 90%+ margins, without raising a dollar. When AI chatbots started displacing search traffic, Simon rebuilt the operation around a small team of operators running AI agents at scale. He writes about it at simonbeauloye.com.
