Elitium was founded by Raoul Milhado, Jean-Pierre Morand, and Collin Gelevert.
Raoul met Jean-Pierre in his hometown Amsterdam in 2016, initially exploring how to bring crypto-payments into the world of luxury.
As their ambitions grew, Raoul and 'JP' recognized the need for additional legal and financial expertise, onboarding Collin as the third co-founder.
Prior to Elitium, Raoul founded and exited a venture in digital marketing. He's remained a driven entrepreneur since his early professional years, ultimately spearheading Boatsters' move into crypto before becoming Elitium CEO.
Jean-Pierre Morand is a developer who's spent a lifetime involved in frontier tech, having helped bring the internet to France in 1998. He has extensive expertise in cyber security and, in 2013, applied his knowledge to blockchain before co-founding Elitium as CTO.
Collin Gelevert has worked in global businesses since the 80s, leveraging his financial expertise to set the legal and compliance strategy of Elitium in his role as Chairman and CFO.
