Simon De Baene

Simon De Baene is the visionary co-founder and CEO of Workleap, a leading technology company that simplifies work for over 20,000 organizations in more than 100 countries.

 

Under his leadership, Workleap has grown from a three-person startup in 2006 to a global tech company with nearly 500 employees and annual revenues exceeding $100 million. Self-funded and profitable since its founding 18 years ago, Workleap recently secured a $125 million investment from CDPQ, marking a major milestone for the company.

 

What inspired Simon to launch Workleap from his Montreal apartment with his two best friends still drives him today: building exceptional software products that help organizations achieve their goals.

 

Today, Workleap is dedicated to designing solutions that simplify the work experience and help people work better. With the rapid evolution of the workplace, opportunities for Workleap have never been greater.

 

Beyond Workleap, Simon supports young entrepreneurs through his involvement with Centech and advisory boards of various startups. He is also passionate about gardening, snowboarding, and skateboarding (even though he’s now retired from it).
