Annecy, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France
For more than 20 years, I have been building and scaling international commercial operations across Europe and EMEA — from premium branded industries to industrial and commodity markets. My core expertise lies in transforming commercial structures into growth engines: opening subsidiaries, structuring multi-country distribution networks, negotiating strategic contracts and accelerating revenue performance in competitive and regulated environments. I have managed turnovers up to $35M+, led multicultural teams across Europe and delivered measurable growth through market expansion, portfolio diversification and disciplined execution. Most recently, in international steel trading (Descours & Cabaud Group), I doubled my portfolio within 12 months (x2.5), managing 50 kt annual volume (€42M), navigating complex pricing dynamics, regulatory frameworks (CBAM, quotas, AD) and global supply chains. What differentiates me: • Strategic vision combined with operational execution • Ability to scale businesses across borders • High-level negotiation in multi-cultural environments • Alignment of sales, marketing and supply chain to drive sustainable profitability • Entrepreneurial mindset within structured organizations I thrive in environments where growth, transformation and international expansion are strategic priorities. Languages: German (native), English & French (fluent)
