Based at the company’s headquarters, in Paris, he reports to Edouard Macquin, Lectra sales director, whose team he has strengthened.

In addition to the worldwide organization already in place for Lectra’s major strategic accounts, Eric Hubert’s objective is to work alongside the company’s numerous subsidiaries in deploying the sales strategy, in order to better serve all its customers. In particular, he is responsible for piloting the deployment and adoption of sales methods adapted to all sizes of company.

“Lectra’s customers, spread across the world, present different profiles.

“It is this proximity to our customers that we must, more than ever, favor and give priority to. They must consider us advisors delivering them high added-value solutions and services. For this, we must go even further in listening to them in order to exceed their expectations,” added Eric Hubert.
