OUR TEAM
Le mot des fondateurs, Hélène et Guillaume
"Tout est une histoire de liens dans la vie ! (Dixit Hélène 😉)
Il était une fois un couple : Hélène, une communicante et Guillaume, un industriel. Un combo qui met au cœur de son quotidien l’humain et le bien-être.
Et puis la vie… En 2016, un diagnostique de sclérose en plaques qui tombe pour Hélène et oriente sa philosophie de vie en mettant le confort et le bien-être en avant. En 2018, une envie forte de fabriquer son propre produit pour Guillaume, le graal pour un industriel !
En 2020, le projet « créateur de liens » voit le jour. C’est la naissance de Gorilla : La marque de lacets en silicone à mémoire de forme qui apporte du confort dans le quotidien de tous."
Our Values
Innovation: Just like with our silicone laces, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We always strive to stand out by adding our own personal touch!
Dynamic: The Gorilla team may be small, but it’s also young! At Gorilla, we believe that age doesn’t define maturity, it’s about mindset and a commitment to tackling the important challenges of tomorrow.
Sharing: Beyond silicone laces, Gorilla is about creating connections, fostering a sense of community with our ambassadors and customers, and spreading kindness in everyday life.
Local production: We are committed to full control over our production chain. Our suppliers and partners are carefully chosen to be geographically close to our production sites.
Who's Who?
Hélène – Co-founder
Hélène has always had a clear vision for Gorilla: to make silicone laces the new go-to, by bringing comfort to the whole “tribe.” After launching the project with the team and giving it 150% of her energy, Hélène has now stepped back to focus on her physical well being.
Guillaume – Co-founder
Guillaume leads Le Joint Technique and created Gorilla with the goal of having a product of his own. He now oversees strategic accounts, supporting the sales team in making key business decisions.
Maurine - Head of Operations
Maurine has been part of Gorilla since the very beginning, helping build its foundations. Over the years, her role has evolved: she now splits her time between Head of operations at Gorilla and Le Joint Technique, where she drives the group’s CSR strategy.
Xavier - Sales
Xavier quickly climbed the ranks at Gorilla, starting as an intern. He is now our full-time sales executive, focused on getting our silicone laces into as many stores as possible. Energetic and full of ideas, Xavier never stops pushing boundaries! For any queries about becoming a retailer Click here LIEN
