SAINT GERMAIN EN LAYE

En résumé

After 9 years in Cameroon, where I ultimately had to restructure an industrial company in a very unfavorable context, I had the mission during the past 6 years in Gabon as PESCHAUD General Manager, to structure the subsidiary in order to suit the standards of the oil and gas industry and increase Peschaud business in the country.

During those 15 years, I have built strong technical skills in business development, organization, human resources while working in highly challenging environments.

From July 2014, I will be in charge of the Group’s International Business Development, based in our French headquarters in Saint Germain-en-Laye.
