🎧 About Mission First

We are at a critical period for our planet and its inhabitants, and entrepreneurs and companies are going to play a massive influence on our future.

As always, there are two sides who can pull us in opposite directions.

On one side, there are entrepreneurs who chase and base their decisions on money, success, and fame.

On the other side, I believe there are entrepreneurs who truly care about making a positive difference on this world. Money is a mean and not an end to these entrepreneurs: they care about their Mission First, and their goal is not fame nor a quick exit for the sake of it. I call them Entrepreneurs for Future.

My name is Gilles Toussaint, I am an entrepreneur and an expert in Growth Marketing. With my company GT Impact, I help sustainability-driven companies to increase their revenue faster and have a greater impact on this planet.
