Sebastien Blanc's Email Addresses & Phone Numbers

📖 Summary

I want to solve meaningful problems and build outstanding organizations. I have contributed to several technology start-ups over the last 10 years as a commercial executive by building or helping others build successful revenue machines. I understand that success never takes straight lines: It requires discipline of execution, resilience through hard times and obsession about disproportionate results. The prize is more than worth the effort though: the chance to create something out of nothing, to earn a place in an outstanding team and to make yourself more than you are.Director, Global Supply @ Joined through the sale of Struq in Oct 2014.
