About

Simon Vasconcelos Lee is a French-Portuguese entrepreneur. Trained in pure mathematics (MP* preparatory classes at Janson-de-Sailly and Condorcet, magistère degree from Paris XI University in Orsay), he built his first websites as early as 2002: the LeeX Network activity was born.

His first company, launched in event marketing, failed in less than two years. He rebuilt himself in the field, selling door to door, the school that forged his core conviction as an entrepreneur: a product is only as good as your ability to sell it.

An expatriate since 2009, first in Prague and then in Madagascar, and an avid traveller, he built Simafri, the technical ally of small businesses, serving clients in 42 countries. In 2013 he invented his signature model: the all-inclusive subscription website (creation, hosting, domain, support), which his Serenity range now industrialises with AI. His LeeX Network publishes reference media, including Annuaire.mg, in structured data readable by search engines and AI systems. He also founded Stileex, now an AI-powered recruitment platform, and his sales training events have gathered hundreds of participants in Antananarivo.

Above all, he carries JesusBYS, a multilingual online Christian community, the facet of his work that matters most to him: to place himself, quite simply, in the service of Jesus.

Trilingual in French, English and Portuguese.
