“From Avocation To Vocation: How I Turned My Hobby Into A Career” With Benjamin Fonzé

An interview with Phil La Duke

Delegate quickly and as much as possible. At the beginning, I wanted to do it all myself, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but as soon as your company grows, not delegating can be very damaging.

As a part of our series about entrepreneurs who transformed something they did for fun into a full-time career, I had the pleasure of interviewing Benjamin Fonzé CEO & Founder of EXOGROUP . Benjamin is a successful entrepreneur with a passion for technology and business. From being a bedroom programmer in his teens to launching his first business the online ad network ExoClick in 2006. Benjamin didn’t stop there though and has launched and acquired several companies that monetise the online media space under the umbrella brand EXOGROUP. Based in Barcelona, Spain, Benjamin’s other passion is horse riding. He owns a stable and Benjamin and his horses have competed in several competitions including CSIO Barcelona (Negrita Cup), CSI2 Santander Grand Prix and the Catalunya Championship. He is also interested in breeding horses and has welcomed four foals into his equestrian family so far.
