To run a successful business, founders must facilitate the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and in Emmanuel Arnaud’s case, homes. Join us for an exclusive conversation with this CEO and Founder to learn more about how to manage a successful peer-to-peer business model.

Emmanuel Arnaud is the CEO of HomeExchange and President of FrenchTech Boston. A graduate of HEC Paris and the Harvard Kennedy School, he has combined his passion for sustainable development with his passion for traveling to revolutionize the home exchange market.

Arnaud founded GuesttoGuest in 2011. In 2017, GuesttoGuest acquired U.S.-based HomeExchange, creating a world leader in the home swapping market. Solidly anchored in the sharing economy, HomeExchange is a promising alternative to traditional hospitality markets, ensuring that peer-to-peer transactions become ever-more mainstream. HomeExchange was recently included in the French government's list of the hottest French startups called “Next40,” highlighting key players in the tech startup space with French leaders at the helm of their success. Arnaud is a sharing economy insider with management, entrepreneurship, start-up and leadership expertise. He is a frequent keynote speaker and panelist at travel, technology and other events. He is the recipient of Echo Touristique’s “Person of the Year 2017” trophy for innovation.

He will be discussing his professional trajectory, advice for pursuing a less mainstream business model, and his perspective on opportunities in the hospitality industry. Learn more about HomeExchange at https://www.homeexchange.com/.
