FX, based in Dallas, recently promoted Jean Baptiste Plas as sales director of France, according to a press release.
The executive will succeed Denis Heraud’s departure following a decade-long tenure.
"After the last three years as regional sales director for Paris, North France and Eastern France with FX, it is a real honor to assume the position of sales director-France,” Plas said. “I will be surrounded by an amazing sales team that is efficient and extremely capable of meeting all challenges with their passion for service and shoulder. Our successes would be impossible without our colleagues at the headquarters in Viriat who always meet our needs and are indispensable to us in our daily lives.”
Under his new role, Plas will be tasked with implementing strategies to fuel the growth of FX’s market presence in France. The appointment is said to promote the company’s global sales growth.
During his time at FX, Heraud is credited with making significant contributions to the growth of FX’s operations in France.
“I would like to thank Denis Heraud who has trusted me from the first day of our collaborative efforts together and who knew how to mentor and train me,” Pals said. “I would like to thank our CEO, Baptiste Martin, who has entrusted me to continue the success that Denis has put in place and grow the FX portfolio even further. I can assure everyone that they have my full commitment to tackle and overcome all the challenges that await us.”
