About Laurent

As an internationally experienced Key account manager, I develop new markets in demanding industries and successfully expand exising ones. My activities focus on conducing market analyses, identifying key accounts and successfully acquiring them.

The parameters for my success are the development and maintenance of networks at all hierarchical levels in engineering and purchasing departments. The professional support of customers and the close cooperation with the engineering, quality, production, purchasing and accounting departments characterise my daily commitment throughout the entire project lifetime. This includes drafting contracts, technical and financial negotiation, claim management and the control of profitability.

Thanks to my language skills in French, English and German, I am able to successfully represent your company internationally and provide the necessary mobility.

My structured and independent approach to work, enables me to act with foresight and flexibility and to be solution-oriented. My strengths are my communication skills, my reliability and my ability to keep an overview of ongoing projects at all times. In me you will find an experienced and goal-oriented Key account manager with solid commercial experience and distinctive technical expertise.
