Portrait

Portrait of Romain de Wolff

Building meaningful innovation.

I come from a mixed cultural background that shaped me early: Irish roots on my father's side, and Silesian and Russian roots on my mother's side. I was born in Bern in 1981, grew up in Sion, and then moved to Lausanne at age 11 with my brothers. At the time it felt like a rupture; in hindsight, it was my first real lesson in adaptation.

In Lausanne, I had to find my own path. School no longer felt right, and skateboarding became my world for years. A serious accident at 16 forced me to change direction. That moment brought me back to fundamentals: channeling rebellion into discipline, structure, and long-term focus.

I restarted through technology, first with a Swiss vocational IT track and later engineering studies at HEIG-VD. From there, I moved across product, technology, and business roles. At zetcom group, I led international digital projects for major institutions and brands including the Musee du Louvre, Louis Vuitton, Nina Ricci, and Coca-Cola. That period shaped my operating style: understand the field, ship fast, and iterate relentlessly.

I then chose entrepreneurship full-time. After multiple attempts, hard lessons, and building Meetme, I launched Whisperit with a clear goal: give legal professionals secure, practical AI tools that improve real daily work. Today, we support law firms across Europe with a long-term vision: making legal work faster, more precise, and more human through voice and AI.

Album of my life

Keith Jarrett - At The Blue Note

A record I keep returning to: rich, profound, and like hearing a full life story unfold in real time. If you do not have much time, jump straight to Disc 4 and start there, that is the cheat code (and honestly, maybe the best disc ever).
