At the heart of our concept is a new way to travel

No matter where you are in the world, meeting new people is the best way to discover a

culture – what better way to do so than by dining at a local home?

Travelling, gastronomy & new encounters are a few of Jean-Michel’s passions. Until 2012,

Jean-Michel was a Board member and Director of Investments of London-based venture

capital firm Eurovestech, He previously occupied the position of CRM and E-commerce

Director at Compaq France and was a member of the Alta Vista Europe management team.

It was during a trip to Peru, while sharing a traditional Indian meal in the island of

Amantani (Lake Titicaca), that the idea of VizEat was born.

Camille Rumani – COO and co-founder

Camille is passionate about cuisine and loves hosting and discovering new cultures. She

has acquired solid experience in Corporate Finance at E&Y, then specialized in marketing

360° with Henkel. A fluent speaker of Mandarin Chinese, she was also an intern at

Dacheng Law Offices, Pekin’s largest lawyer’s firm.

It was in Beijing’s vastness, where meeting people is rendered more difficult due to the

language barrier and different culture, that she first had the idea: to create a platform that

would bring together locals and those interested in discovering their culture from the

inside.
