The partners

Two paths, the same rigour.

Portrait of François Painchaud

François Painchaud

Founder and President

He meets every new client, agrees with them on the goal of the engagement and how to measure it, then follows it through to delivery.

François built and sold a first web agency, then focused on SEO and paid advertising. He founded Kasvu to help small businesses grow with solid systems and results they can read for themselves.

Those years left him with one standard: no promises, and results measured and shown as they are.

  • Growth strategy
  • Google Ads
  • SEO
  • Business development

Mohamed Jihed Khikhia

Partner and Chief Operating Officer

He leads the delivery of every engagement with the team: campaigns, landing pages, lead tracking, automation and custom applications.

For more than 15 years, Jihed has designed campaigns, web platforms and automation systems. He holds a master’s degree in computer science applied to management and a master’s in e-commerce.

His career follows the path of a lead. First SEO, then Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn campaigns. Seeing businesses pay for visits they did not know how to convert, he moved into development and page design, then into automation and artificial intelligence, for teams swamped by leads handled by hand.

  • Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn
  • Automation and AI
  • Web development
  • Data analysis

His rule A good tool goes unnoticed by the people who use it. Its results, on the other hand, are plain to see.
