Gerard's Profile

iCEO #7773

Position: Business Development Director

Nationality: France

Experience

I held several senior management positions in both multinational enterprises such as Symantec where I set up French operations as sales & marketing manager, and startup organisations like SoftGallery, an e-business company I founded and successfully sold to Beyond.com.

Major Achievements

My job consisted of selecting and organizing the distribution channel, developing strong relationships with large account resellers and IT managers, as well as recruiting the sales and the marketing team. Results were totally successful and contributed to drive the multinational company I represented into leadership. In addition, the startup I founded in 1996 had been acquired for 5 Million dollars.
