Bertrand's Profile
iCEO #64909
Position: COO/Managing Director
Nationality: France
Experience
FMCG specialist, with strong focus on the Food industry (short and long shelf life). Held key positions in Marketing and Sales, prior to Managing Director roles in the last 19 years. Implemented various approaches to enter European markets.
Major Achievements
Turning around the Belgian subsidiary: prior to 2005 this B.U. overly focussed the low end of the market. After it lost a large part of its listings, it became obvious that the local Manager was not up to the challenge. I decided to replace him; as of 2007, with a new MD which I recruited, I have defined and implemented a strategy focussed on some of the Group's successes in the high end of the market. Result: 4 years of repeated growth in profit and market share, giving our brand its highest market share ever in Belgium.
