Raymond Salloum

Co-founder & President

Raymond Salloum

  • Entrepreneurial vision
  • Brand development
  • Growth priorities

A civil engineer by training and an entrepreneur, Raymond founded Fontaine Santé’s retail business and helped shape the brand’s vision. His roles there included Vice President of Marketing. He later brought his entrepreneurial experience to real estate and import ventures.

That background shapes how he approaches a business: setting a clear direction, making sound brand decisions and creating the conditions to carry them through. At Gemini Insight, he brings this entrepreneurial perspective to growth projects, working closely with Sami, clients and partners.

Raymond cares about the people around him and places a high value on personal relationships. He also enjoys travelling and reading.
