It’s with great sadness that we have to report that Christophe Monroy has passed away. Christophe was one of the founders of Mereo and he had been battling brain cancer this past year.
The Mereo family wrote the following …
Christophe is our colleague, our cofounder, our self-proclaimed “tyrannical project leader”, and most importantly our friend.
He’s someone who always wants to be right. And to be fair, he often is.
He’s also passionate about manipulation. Yes, you read that right – he has closely studied Machiaveli and all his disciples. We’ve never had the courage to tell him this, but… he is rather bad at manipulation. He is far too honest for that, and he is right far too often for people to do anything else than what he says.
And Christophe is someone who profoundly cares about people. He listens attentively and with consideration, even to complaints, only to better tickle the egos with love and humour. With Christophe we think, we grow, we laugh, we say “merde” with elegance and subtlety. Some would say that he has genius.
If we speak about him in the present tense, it’s because through all the moments of life that we shared with him we now embody him in our ways.
He has moved us, inspired us, convinced us, and made us live. Meeting him changed us and made us wiser and happier people.
He has been a landmark for us in the everchanging ecosystem that is Mereo, his “baby”.
And he will remain a landmark for us in the larger ecosystem that is life.So Christophe, to thank you, we will live and make you live, we will honor your memory via the stories that you told us and that now resonate through us.
Long may you live!
The Mereo family
