Zsolt Wimmer, 55, comes from Hungary. The man has dual nationality and experienced the communist regime during his youth. He began his engineering studies in Budapest before completing them in France. Arriving in 1993 to do an internship and prepare for studies in Paris, he then became the first employee of a young Nantes company created in 1998: “Vision Objects”. It has grown since then and even changed its name, becoming “MyScript”.
