About the Team

philippe portrait About No Diamonds

Philippe Alexis Founder and CEO

“In 1997 I was working in the City of London in an investment bank, dealing with financial derivatives, when one day the IT staff set up a fast Internet connection on my computer. It changed my life. I spent the whole day surfing the early web, and from that day I realized that I wanted to be involved with it somehow in my professional life. It took 2 years to transition to working as a web developer. I started creating basic sites for charities (like Re-Cycle). After working for an Internet start up (bivio, improbably still alive today), I set up No Diamonds.”
