It’s already quite a story
Kumojin is an IT development company founded in 2018 by Julien Maitrehenry and Lukasz Kokot. These two new technology buffs wanted to share their vision of artisanal development and entrepreneurship within a company that resembles them and whose expertise is at the service of companies’ digital challenges.
In 2025, a new team takes the helm at Kumojin. Santane Weill, hitherto Vice President, is appointed CEO and joins Lukasz, CTO, to take the company even further.
Based in Quebec, Kumojin is at the heart of the emergence of new
technology start-ups. Thanks to this strategic positioning, the company keeps abreast of the latest trends while keeping an eye on the world.
Kumojin’s growth and influence are based on a new approach to consulting and technology product development. To date, more than fifty customers have placed their trust in us on both sides of the Atlantic.
起源
Where does the name KUMOJIN come from?
You will probably wonder why these two French-Canadians chose a Japanese-sounding name?
Julien and Lukasz are both passionate about Japan and have visited on several occasions. Not surprisingly, their philosophy is largely influenced by this country steeped in history, codes, values and rigor.
So they have tried to translate these principles, so dear to them, into the company’s name. The word kumo (雲), which means “cloud” in Japanese, was chosen in reference to the cloud, and jin (人), is one of the readings of the word “person”, as the company wishes to be resolutely turned towards people, whether its partners or its employees.
