General manager with marketing background and organization talent, speaking French, English, German and Spanish.

Major Achievements

As subsidiary manager of a Swedish group (10M€ turnover, 20 employees), itself distributor 35% owned by a Hong-Kong multinational, I achieved an extensive cultural change towards employee consideration, team spirit and lean management, substantially increased communication and cooperation with both Swedish and Hong-Kong mother companies, took direct charge of the sales team as well as marketing and drove a massive plan to improve a suffering supply chain. In 3 years, from an initial decreasing turnover situation, we performed a 38% increase, linked with a 5% margin recovery and a 15% customer service rate improvement.
