He has more than 15 years of operational experience, mostly in the automobile industry – 10 years at Renault in various sales and export positions followed by five years as a Managing Director for France and Belgium at SMART Group DAIMLER-CHRYSLER. He began his career as a Recruitment Consultant in 1999 at Maesina International Search and in 2003 he decided that he wanted to offer his clients a recruitment approach that was innovative, so he created ESTEAM European Search.
