About Me

After studying at Dauphine University and ESSEC Business School, Raphaël became Cultural Heritage Business Developer at Sketchfab (bought by Epic Games) in New York, the leading platform for 3D models. He promoted 3D integration in museums such as The Met, the British Museum, and the Louvre. In 2014, he directed his first documentary, "En Face", as part of the Cinemakhia collective. Passionate about making culture accessible through technology, he joined Histovery as Business Developer, filmmaker, and photogrammetrist. Promoted Director of Development in 2021, he supports the growth of Histovery, the world leader in “Augmented Visits” for cultural sites. The HistoPad is deployed in 20 sites across France, Germany, Belgium, and the U.S., reaching 3 million visitors annually. Histovery also produces touring Augmented Exhibitions, including D-Day and Notre-Dame.
