Presenters

Olivier Berrouiguet

President & CEO at Synertrade

I have 25 years of experience in the fields of management, business development, strategic marketing & sales, in various industries such as pharma & chemicals, automotive, embedded electronics and digital transformation. Due to this wide ranging experience, I’m recognised for my ability to transform how companies operate and to accelerate growth.

Before I joined Econocom (Synertrade’s parent company) in 2018 as Director of Strategic Affairs, I spent 6 years at Capgemini in charge of a Global Strategic Account, and a further 6 years as Chief Sales Officer and Manager of the Oncology Business Unit of Voluntis, a pioneer in the use of software medical devices in digital health.

From that experience, I’m a believer in acting the same way in business – diagnose the issues, understand the causes before prescribing treatments. You get the best outcomes for everyone.
