Kevin began his career in digital marketing at 3 Suisses, where he managed the Bons Plans Shopping website, representing the early stages of an online marketplace. He later started his e-commerce consulting business before joining one of his clients, Alice’s Garden, an online home&garden brand. There, he took on the role of Deputy General Manager and, with his partners, grew the company from €300,000 to €60 million in revenue over 9 years. In 2020, he was chosen by the founders of Cotton Bird to oversee the capital and managerial transition of the company alongside Julie Joaris.
Julie began her career at Smallable, an e-commerce platform for children’s brands, before taking on the role of Artistic Director at My Little Square, another e-commerce platform in the childcare sector. She then joined Vestiaire Collective, an e-commerce platform in the fashion industry, as Artistic Director. Finally, in 2020, Julie joined Cotton Bird, where she took over the Image department to preserve the company’s creative DNA while ensuring the transition alongside Kevin.
Founded in 2011, Cotton Bird has established itself in the field of invitation card publishing.
With its well-recognized and entirely digital brand, the company offers a wide range of high-quality invitation cards and greeting cards on its website, designed in its creative studio for weddings, births, celebrations, and year-end wishes.
As the leader in the French market, the company quickly expanded internationally, where it now generates more than 30% of its revenue.
Aged around sixty and wishing to ensure the success of their succession while preserving Cotton Bird’s independence, the founding couple organized the managerial transition of the company two years before the operation by entrusting the general management to a duo composed of Kevin Ha and Julie Joaris.
“We are very happy to hand over the reins of Cotton Bird to Julie and Kevin. They have already demonstrated that they will perfectly preserve the creative DNA and operational excellence that have made its success,” they stated.
