Kévin Gougeon co-created N'go Shoes almost 4 years ago and the shoe brand is a hit. I could tell you right away about the specifics of N'go shoes, but I will spoil the story of its creation and the rest of this article. First, contrary to our expectations, Kevin does not come from a background in fashion, marketing or communication. He worked for 5 years in an accounting firm, these are the studies he had started. This gave him the opportunity to support many business creators and he often had to help them out of complicated situations. Suffice to say that, on the other side of the fence, the adventure of entrepreneurship did not really appeal to him.
Except that little by little, he no longer feels in his place in his work. He starts to wait for the weekend from Monday, to come back from vacation with the only desire to leave... Kévin feels a lack of meaning in his professional life. At only 25 years old, he knows he must find a solution to regain the Mobile Phone Number alignment. Kevin Gougeon KÉVIN GOUGEON STARTS FROM HIS VALUES TO DESIGN HIS PROJECT The choice of entrepreneurship imposes itself on him as the only answer. For him, it's the solution to create an activity that sticks to his values, to what he wants to do for society. But for Kévin Gougeon, it is out of the question to start alone.
He involves in the adventure Ronan, his sidekick since high school. Kévin and Ronan have traveled a lot. And it is these journeys that will inspire all aspects of N'go Shoes. They have made many trips to Latin America. Each time Kevin is fascinated by local know-how and ethnic motifs. They are found on the models of N'go shoes. Ronan had just returned from two years in an NGO in Vietnam. He knew the country, the language, and had contacts there. This is where all the N'go Shoes production will be located. There was also this trip to Peru where they went to build a nursery in 2010.
