A quick bit about our team.
-
Christian Mokbel
CEO / Founder
As a software engineer and owner of an ophthalmic lab in the 2000s, Christian imagined a way to diminish the number of errors flowing from clients to the labs. In 2005, WINK was founded as a supply chain management program that enabled direct ordering of lenses to his lab without fax or phone. The rest is history.
Today WINK is a leading Practice Management Software that integrates with the most popular labs. Since the beginning Christian has devoted his professional life in making WINK a company with a strong footprint without losing the entrepreneurial spirit which has become part of WINK’s employee culture! -
