Bio
bertrand gachon
I had the chance to collaborate with Francesco when I was leading Converse in France. Francesco has a great strategic mindset which was highly appreciated as we were about to reposition the brand in France; but he also comes with a very good sense of the business and commercial reality which was a real plus in his retail brand marketing role. Last but not least, Francesco has been a true team player with our local members.

Fran was one of the first people I spoke to when I joined Converse and from there on in, his experience and attitude made him an amazing thought partner in all key aspects of the business - retail, digital or strategy. Never afraid to speak up or challenge existing processes for the benefit of the brand, Fran's energy and get-things-done attitude made him an unmissable part of the team, enabling him to drive great busines results while inspiring others and having fun along the way.
