My client Fab­rice Grinda was in Paris this week at Le Web ’09 after spend­ing the past seven months abroad away from his New York City home. At Le Web, con­fer­ence orga­nizer Loic Le Meur con­ducted a fire­side chat with Fab­rice Grinda, co-CEO of free clas­si­fieds site OLX, Inc. Please check it out above.

The video is the per­fect rep­re­sen­ta­tion of who Fab­rice Grinda is and what his vision is for OLX.com both Inter­na­tion­ally and in the United States. As a bonus, Fab­rice is a bit bom­bas­tic, so he talks cold turkey about what it is like to do busi­ness in France, his home, ver­sus in the United States; how simple-minded we indeed are as human crea­tures, and how much risk and suf­fer­ing one really must go through to become an overnight suc­cess. Enjoy! Via the Fab­rice Grinda Blog.
