Rockwell Automation announces the appointment of Gilles Pacaud as General Manager France.
Gilles Pacaud, 52, began his career at Rockwell Automation in 1990 as a sales engineer. He quickly developed the Western region, taking charge of the Paris branch to double sales and develop key accounts, before becoming Regional Director.
In 2000, he was appointed European Sales Manager for EJA, a company specializing in industrial safety products. Thanks to his managerial skills, the integration of this Rockwell Automation entity was a success, and he was promoted to EMEA Sales Director for the "Sensor, Safety and Connectivity" Business Unit.
In 2004, he took up a new challenge and became head of services and solutions for France and Benelux. He reorganized the department, resulting in strong growth. He quickly extended his experience by strengthening his teams, first in Southern Europe, then in the Middle East and Africa.
He will develop sales and new services, and gain departmental recognition as Associate Director EMEA.
" His career with our company has given him an excellent command of our activities, both products and services. His knowledge of the expectations and current challenges in the industrial automation sector on the French market, and his experience of key accounts and distributors both in France and EMEA, will I'm sure enable us to increase our business opportunities in France.
