A personal message from our CEO: “Thanks to all of my dear OneStockers!”

As you may have heard through our official channels, OneStock has just secured a substantial investment from Summit Partners. This vote of confidence in our vision and mission fills me with immense pride, and I know that we couldn’t have reached this point without each and every one of my dear OneStockers.

I have many people to thank among our customers, our partners, our supporters, our early investors – everybody who believed in OneStock and supported us directly or indirectly… but allow me, first and foremost, to say thank you to the OneStock team.

Firstly, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to my co-founder and dear friend, Benoît. Your support, dedication and vision throughout the years have been the foundation of our shared success. Even before founding OneStock, I admired the commitment and passion evident in everything you pursued, from running marathons to your work at University. Now, many years later, I can say that not only have you maintained these qualities, but you have also instilled them in all the technical teams at OneStock. Together with your teams, you have succeeded in creating what OneStock is today: an exceptionally innovative and agile platform with a best-of-breed performance track record.

To the trailblazers who joined us in the early days, paving the way for what OneStock has become, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you – and a shoutout to the first two employees at OneStock who, for the record, are still with us after so many years. To Alexandre, who began as a trainee at OneStock and now leads our R&D team: your contributions have been instrumental in shaping our technological edge, and I’m grateful for your continued brilliance. Your evolution at OneStock serves as a source of inspiration for many. And to Jean-Philippe: your versatility and agility have been a true game-changer for OneStock. You’ve been involved in numerous strategic projects – too many to list here – and you’ve consistently succeeded. From the very beginning, where you played a crucial role in developing the initial proof of concept for OneStock, to today, where you oversee all our work on connectors and accelerators, your dedication has been invaluable.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible team of 115 OneStockers who continue pouring their hearts and souls into their work each day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your hard work, your innovative spirit, and your unwavering commitment to our shared mission.

While they are no longer at OneStock, allow me to pay thanks to those who have since embarked on new adventures but left an indelible mark on our journey: Godefroy who shaped strong foundations for our OMS product, Tal, Carole, Aurelie, Jerôme and many others. Even if we are now on different paths, I must thank you for having done part of the journey with us and having contributed to what OneStock is today. 

A special nod goes out to our exceptional management team – Ashleigh, Johan, Lorenzo, Paul and Vincent. Your leadership, guidance and tireless efforts have propelled us towards success. Each of you has managed to build amazing teams and drive them on the day-to-day to contribute to the OneStock mission: make retail smarter and more sustainable.

As we embark on a new chapter fueled by this exciting investment from Summit, let’s continue to push boundaries, challenge the status quo, be there when customers need us, and strive for excellence in everything we do. Together, there’s no limit to what we can achieve.

This is only the beginning: an incredible journey lies ahead and I’m delighted to do it alongside my fantastic OneStock team, and all the new OneStockers who will join us in the coming months.

Onwards and upwards,

Romulus
