Sébastien Motte

Sébastien Motte is the cofounder and CEO of LOOOK and a houseboat evangelist.

In fall 2013, Sébastien Motte left Microsoft after working at the tech giant for 19 years, where he turned the original Xbox into the powerhouse console it is today.

The shake-up didn't stop there. In the same month, the former head of business development for the Xbox moved out of his Seattle, Washington, apartment and into a 1,200-square-foot houseboat.
