PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential Sophia Antipolis (06)

From March 2009 :

Senior Projects Manager I operate on the behalf of three USA based companies as if they were a European company for a consulting group. I create openings and exploit opportunities that can enhance the success of their business in Europe. I am setting up new distribution channels and/or establishing resellers dealers networks visiting distributors and/or end-users, independently or together with them, managing their day-to-day European sales activities including order taking, handling quotes and documentation requests. - One company is involved in the fields of magnetic shielding and process engineering - The second is engaged in the production of aluminum billet for hot extrusion, hot/cold impact extrusion, and hot/cold forging stock in most aluminum alloys; - The third is a world leader in the design, manufacture, and service of advanced equipment for the measurement and detection of gases and liquids.

Unfortunately, the consulting company does not live up to its promise so that I considered that my professional credibility with the large companies who are my customers is at risk : Not enough time for each customer, superficial approach. This has then led to my contacting you in my current search for suitable employment.

I also established mechanisms to incentivise and penalise the performance of distribution networks. In brief, I was the ultimate guarantor of the effectiveness of the company’s salesforce.
