Rodolphe BEDEL
Consultant, RBI Consulting
After almost ten years of success in sales roles, I am now looking for a role as a sales manager within the specialist chemistry, food supplements, pharmaceutical or biotechnology sectors. I am ideally looking to work for a small to mid-sized French company requiring a sales manager or for a foreign group looking to enter the French market.
Graduated of the ENSCP (Chemical Engineering School), I started my career in more technical roles such as research and production engineering. I then moved over into sales functions. I have deepened my skills with the ESCP-EAP MBA course that I have completed last July.
Please do contact me if you have any suitable roles. I would look forward to discussing my objectives and your requirements in more detail.
