Jonathan Fren
Jonathan Fren is a prolific entrepreneur. His primary interests lie in Internet and media and span the UK, USA, Paris and Israel.
His initiatives have touched over 30 million people worldwide, and as well as TV and movie appearances he continues to work on groundbreaking entertainment, media and internet projects.
Jonathan was born and raised in the UK by his French parents. He started in business at the age of 10, shortly after his mother passed away, with three candy vending machines and by the age of 12 had a network of 32 machines in venues throughout town.
He finally dropped out of school at 14 and entered the internet world. By the time he was 16 he had donated the candy machines and was consulting government agencies, banks, insurance companies and corporates in the UK and US on reworking their legacy traditions and forming new-breed technology solutions. He briefly owned a Watersports business in Barbados at 16, a tire sealant business at 15 as well as several other interim businesses. He now focuses on his media (mainly via shutterbox TV) and charity ventures while maintaining his shareholding and executive positions in his internet companies.
Given the amount of kid-time he gave up for his business interests, Jonathan loves helping people, especially kids; and funnels this interest via his charitable initiatives. Jonathan enjoys conceptualizing new business ideas, travelling, music, being with creative minds and winter sports.
