David Da Silva (42) will join BLANCO France as a new Managing Director from September. Together with Frédéric Leseche, who previously held this position on an interim basis, Da Silva is to further develop the kitchen water place market in France for BLANCO.
Da Silva, who has an MA in history, has nearly 20 years of professional expertise in France and further European countries in the construction, renovation and home improvement sector. He has previously worked at companies including Villeroy & Boch and the ES Group. Most recently, he was Sales and Marketing Director for the Dornbracht Group in France. He will also focus on these functions at BLANCO, while Leseche will focus on the areas of finance and controlling.
Lars Kreutz, Managing Director & Head of Region EMEA for BLANCO, sees this new addition as fresh impetus for the French market: "We want to leverage our potential in France even more than previously. With David on board, we have gained a sales and marketing professional who will help us with this. Together with Frédéric Leseche, whom I would like to thank for his work over the past few months, we have two strong leaders who can set us on the right course for growth."
David Da Silva is looking forward to working with the BLANCO team: "BLANCO is an exciting brand with a solid heritage as a family-owned business, and values that I share. Aiming for excellence across the company in France, I want to ensure that we delight our customers and consumers with our solutions for the kitchen water place."
