Philippe Zarka

Currently Commercial Director in an industrial company, which is part of an important group in the chemical and defence markets, I have acquired an important experience of 15 years in B2B, especially in the international sales all over the world, from commodities to technical products, through a sales network of agents and distributors and directly on the field.

The most recent step in this path was to manage a sales team, both sales engineers and assistants, and to contribute to the strategy of the company by my position in the Executive Committee.

These positions lead me to consider, within a few years, managing a subsidiary, or being a vice-general manager before being a General Manager.

Initially, both my scientific and business backgrounds gave me the right keys to approach the global issues of a company, and through the following experience in various positions, including non-commercial ones (supply chain, e-business projects) enabled me to put these skills into practice.

I also spent twice six months abroad (USA, UK), I have travelled many times in many countries, which develop my ability to adapt myself to various cultural environments.

Beside French as a mother tongue, I speak fluently English and Spanish, I have a good basis in both German and Hebrew, which could be reactivated should the opportunity occur.
