Emmanuel Francheteau, previously Regional Manager of Crown Worldwide in Southern France, has become the company’s General Manager in Switzerland, a newly created role based in Geneva and Lausanne.

Emmanuel is now responsible for developing all current and strategic business lines in both the eastern and western parts of Switzerland. He will continue his relations with the French team and help to further develop cooperation between the two French-speaking areas in Europe.

Emmanuel’s move to Switzerland follows a tremendous track record and experience with Crown since he joined the Crown University program in 1998. After spending time in Australia and Indonesia he was then assigned to Crown Paris. Emmanuel carried out the sales manager role through 2004 when he established Crown Lyon and has since built and developed the office to become very successful for Crown France. In 2009, in addition to running the Lyon branch, Emmanuel took on the national sales manager position for France and was then promoted to regional manager, Southern France, in January 2012.

Emmanuel said, "My relocation to Switzerland is a new chapter for me at Crown and I am confident that the experience I have built over the years will help the Crown group increase its investment in this very important country. I see many opportunities to grow our different divisions and I’m excited to have started working with Jurgen Zyderveld and my new colleagues on this side of the border while maintaining the strong relationships I have with the French team."
