Lectra Names Macquin to Executive Committee
French technology solutions and equipment provider Lectra named Edouard Macquin to its executive committee.
With a career at Lectra that has spanned more than 25 years, Macquin has been the company’s worldwide sales director since 2011.
Macquin joins an executive committee that includes Lectra Chief Executive Officer and Executive Committee Chairman Daniel Harari, Lectra Chief Financial Officer Jérôme Viala, and Lectra Chief Human Capital and Information Officer Véronique Zoccoletto.
Lectra is in the middle of a five-part, three-year strategic plan that began last year. “Lectra has set five strategic objectives for 2013–2015: accentuate technological leadership, strengthen our competitive position and long-term relationships with customers, accelerate organic growth, boost profitability by regularly increasing the operating margin, and generate free cash flow serving to finance future growth,” Harari said.
The company also kicked off a four-year, 50 million euro ($67.6 million) investment plan in 2011 that includes doubling Macquin’s sales force; strengthening marketing, consulting, and research and development teams; and restoring double-digit annual growth.
“I am proud to have contributed to Lectra’s development over the past 27 years,” Macquin said. “My priority today is to complete the construction of a sales and marketing team capable of driving Lectra’s growth and accompanying our customers as they address their future challenges.”
