Today, I’d like to share a bit about my recent deep dive into the world of Olivier Coste. Now, this name might ring a bell for some, especially if you’re into winemaking, high-tech startups, or even Muay Thai. Turns out, there are a few notable Olivier Costes out there, and I got a little carried away exploring all of them.

First, I stumbled upon Olivier Coste, the winemaker. This guy’s story is pretty neat. Grew up in the vineyards of the South of France, Domaine Montrose to be precise, and it seems like it was his playground since he was a kid. Naturally, he followed in his dad’s footsteps and became a winemaker himself. I spent a good chunk of time imagining myself wandering through those vineyards.
- Learned about an interview with him by “wineandtrufflelondon”. It seemed like a behind-the-scenes look at his winery.
Then, my search took a turn. I discovered another Olivier Coste, a big shot in the tech world. This guy’s a serial entrepreneur, investor, and has held some serious corporate executive positions. Read that he graduated from X-Mines, worked for the European Commission, and even had a stint in Lionel Jospin’s cabinet. Impressive stuff! He created a mobile satellite television business at Alcatel. He also founded a company called VideoDesk SA, a technology company offering video chat customer support.
- Noted his experience in creating high-tech businesses.
Just when I thought I had a handle on this Olivier Coste thing, bam! Another one. This time, a high-level referee in Muay Thai. Apparently, this Olivier Coste officiates some of the biggest fights, including those for ONE Championship. I watched a few clips of him in action. It looked like a pretty intense job, lots of pressure. They even say he is a pioneer in UFC, Bellator, and MMA.
- Found out he’s known for his work in major Muay Thai events.
So, there you have it. My little adventure into the lives of Olivier Coste. It started with wine, moved to tech, and ended with martial arts. What a ride! It just goes to show you, you never know what you’ll find when you start digging around on the internet. It’s a fun reminder that people can have such varied and interesting careers, and sometimes they even share the same name!
