Guillaume Billon

Expertise & support
in aquariums and garden ponds

With over 17 years of entrepreneurial experience, I founded Blue Coral in 2009, which became a recognized player in the aquarium and garden pond market through aqua-store.fr and aqualight-solution.com.

This market experience has given me a deep understanding of distribution and the key players operating in the sector.

Today, I offer this expertise as a Freelance partner — bringing agility, structure and immediate efficiency to support your development and growth.

Background & expertise

My professional journey has been shaped by entrepreneurship, through the creation of two companies recognized in their markets.

In 2009, I founded Blue Coral, specialized in aquariums and garden ponds, through two dedicated e-commerce websites: Aqualight-Solution and Aqua-Store, now market leaders as pure players.

My sector expertise combined with strong e-commerce and digital marketing skills enabled sustained growth for Blue Coral, until it became a major distributor of aquarium and pond products.

This leadership was confirmed by Blue Coral’s acquisition by the botanic© group in September 2022, where I supported integration and group synergies for more than three years.

These 17 years in the aquarium and pond industry have given me in-depth knowledge of product ranges, market evolution, and the dynamics between manufacturers and distributors.
