You are leaving Leboncoin after 16 years. For what reasons?
After more than 16 years, including 10 years as head of Leboncoin, I decided to step down at the end of October. I will be focusing on new professional projects. I cannot say more for now, but leading Leboncoin has been one of the greatest adventures of my career. I leave with peace of mind, immense pride and the conviction that Leboncoin will continue to grow and thrive (in 2024, Adevinta’s new shareholders – led by funds Blackrock and Permira – sold Spanish sites Milanuncios, Fotocasa, Habitaclia and InfoJobs to Swedish investment fund EQT. They then announced a refocus on Germany, France and Benelux. Leboncoin is the group’s most important site, Editors’note.).
According to Médiamétrie Netratings, the website reached 30 million unique monthly visitors in the first half of 2025. How is the integration of artificial intelligence tools progressing in the business processes and customer experience?
With the level of traffic achieved by our C2C marketplace, AI is essential for matching supply and demand efficiently. It allows us to personalise app usage, provide relevant pricing and make posting faster. Our strategic focus is truly on the efficiency and performance of our platform, which is predominantly mobile-based. In the first half of 2025, 92% of total traffic came from mobile, including Android and iOS apps and the responsive website. Our technological developments are therefore mainly focused on the app, which now includes 70 AI-powered features, from recommendation engines to price suggestions.
