Olivier Blanc

Olivier was born into a food loving family. With the celebrated chef, Raymond Blanc as his father and his mother being a cordon bleu cook, a solid foundation of food appreciation was established from a young age.

Olivier went onto Millfield before reading English literature at Leeds university. He then left the UK to enrol at the New York Film Academy where he completed a directing and film making course. On his return to the UK Olivier found work in the film and television industry, starting as a runner before becoming an assistant director working on shows like “Evita” and the long running TV series “The Bill.” Oli went from behind the camera to infront, retraining as an actor at Drama Studio London. He worked briefly as an actor working on various productions including “Hollyoaks.!” Olivier then returned to a fantastic idea he had created with a partner, creating digital content that would encourage children to connect with food and nature et voila “Henri Le Worm” was born. Despite being a new brand, the Henri Le Worm app has attracted great reviews and success including No1 spot in Apple’s Education Category as well as several awards.
