Marie Jason has just been appointed Director of MIDEST, the world's leading industrial subcontracting trade show, whose 45e edition will be held from November 17 to 20 at the Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord Villepinte. This is a well-deserved accolade for the 39-year-old professional, nine of whom have worked for Reed Expositions France, the event's organizer, where she has established herself through her professionalism and managerial skills. At Reed Expositions France, Marie Jason will report directly to Jean-François Sol-Dourdin, Director of the Industry and Risk Management Division, which reports to the Construction, Environment, Industry and Risk Management, Health Division headed by Sylvie Fourn.
A graduate of ESC Bordeaux and HEC Executive Education, this trained saleswoman first exercised her talents in 1999 with the Lagardère group, where she successively held the positions of sales manager at Hachette Jeunesse, then product manager for the atoutclic.com website, before moving into marketing in 2002 as manager at Hachette Multimédia.
In 2006, she joined Reed Expositions France as Marketing and Communications Director for APS - Alarmes Protection Sécurité - and Expoprotection, the trade show for risk prevention and management. She added a sales component to this position in 2011, when she was also entrusted with sales management for these two events. In 2013, a new development: she was appointed Director of the Piscine & Bien-être trade show, which runs successfully alongside the Nautic international boat show in Paris.
A seasoned professional from the world of events is now at the helm of Midest.
