Global Head of Sales EMEA Starts in Global Sales & Marketing on June 13, 2022
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce that Laurent Melin will join PI as Global Head of Sales EMEA on June 13, .
Laurent is French and lives in the Paris region. He is married with two children, 19 and 16 years old. He describes himself as a «Wei Ji addict», always considering opportunities in every difficulty!
In more than 25 professional years, Laurent has held various positions in project management at the American subcontractor Solectron, as well as in direct recruitment at Michael Page. However, it is really in Sales Management that Laurent has found his way over the past 20 years. First of all as Inside Sales Manager, and then, from 2004 to 2011, as Distribution Sales Manager EMEA within the Keithley/Tektronix Group. In 2011, Laurent joined the Polytec Group to take over the management of the French subsidiary, which he increased to 15 people, and made it a profitable entity with a turnover increase of more than 20%.
In his new role, Laurent will manage Sales of an 8-digit business area of PI, combining the complete portfolio of products, services and solutions sold within EMEA, including all of the countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (with the exception of the DACH region).
I am honoured and very pleased to join the PI team. I am delighted to participate in these great human and business adventures to achieve good success stories for the company.
Laurent holds a Masters degree in Global Management from the Paris-Dauphine University, and he is certificated Miller Heiman’ Conceptual Selling® & Strategic Selling® modules.
Please join me in welcoming Laurent to the PI family!
Best regards
Stephane Bussa
Chief Sales Officer
