Focus on Chloé Fournier, KEDGE graduate and founder of Welkeys

A 2011 graduate of KEDGE, Chloé Fournier founded Welkeys in 2014, a high-end seasonal rental agency. Welkeys now has 30 employees between Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille and Mégève and is looking for new talent.

After graduating from KEDGE in 2011 with a Grandes Ecoles degree and a HEC preparatory course, Chloé Fournier worked for 3 years in the advertising group WPP (Young and Rubicam, Wunderman) in London, Singapore, Sao Paulo and Paris in digital marketing.

 

In 2014, she founded Welkeys, first as a platform for connecting Bnb owners and concierges and which became in 2017, a property management and concierge company.

 

Today, Welkeys is 30 employees between Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille and Mégève, 25 city manager partners and more than 1200 mandates under management in more than 30 destinations in France.

Chloé, can you tell us a little about your time at KEDGE?

I joined KEDGE on the Marseille campus in 2009 after a preparatory class for the grandes écoles. Very involved in the school's associative life, I was during my two years the communication director of Citadingue, the guide to good places to go in Marseille and Aix en Provence. I then left for 2 years abroad as an intern in Sao Paulo, London and Singapore in a trainee program within the advertising group WPP to return to Paris in 2011 and start a job at Wunderman (WPP group) in Paris in digital marketing.

Welkeys, the young growing company

Specialized in tourism, real estate, management, rentals and services, Welkeys is developing its offers in the high-end segment in France. The company's real estate portfolio currently includes more than 1,200 properties located in the heart of 30 destinations, such as Paris, Bordeaux, Megève, Chamonix, Hossegor, Deauville, Cannes, Biarritz or the Île de Ré... and has already welcomed more than 200,000 travelers.

 

A 360 service that meets a growing demand for short or medium-term stays in the mountains, by the sea, in the countryside or in the city, is thus offered to owners and holidaymakers who wish to delegate the management and logistics of their seasonal rentals.

 

Two offers :

Welkeys manages everything from A to Z for their owner clients: Professional photo-taking, creation of advertisements and multi-distribution, Revenue Management, Welcome, Departure, Linen and cleaning of hotel quality, maintenance operations.
