Meet Sergio Bodo, new Commercial Director South Europe & France

Answer

Incredibly thrilling!

My role required relocating from my homeland in Italy to Aix-en-Provence, France. This transition felt like a fresh start, both professionally and personally. There was so much to absorb and I had to adapt quickly in order to contribute to the continued growth of our company in the region.

I received invaluable assistance from everyone in Malmö during my time there, and also from the entire French team upon my arrival in Aix; I'm immensely grateful to all of them. It was like jumping onto a moving train, but once aboard it's been an exhilarating journey that I'm thoroughly enjoying!

Answer

I am responsible for developing our business in Southern Europe. This includes overseeing the French subsidiary and managing the sales team in Italy. My role involves striking a balance between consolidating and safeguarding our existing business, while also expanding into new territories and market segments. With the completion of our Water-Smart range and other upcoming product launches, there are plenty of opportunities for growth.

Working alongside our management and our commercial operations team, I develop strategies and action plans to achieve our objectives. Operationally, I collaborate with my sales team to engage with distributors, buyers, consultants, and other stakeholders in the purchasing process, ensuring they understand the benefits of choosing Nor:disk products. Ultimately, the decision to purchase our machines becomes a logical choice for them.

Answer

The opportunity to drive and be a part of a phase of growth and expansion was appealing to me. The expansion of our product portfolio involves models and distribution channels that I have extensive experience with. I was attracted by the chance to leverage my experiences, knowledge, and skills and apply them to new circumstances, adapting them to emerging needs while also learning something new in the process. Naturally, this journey involves hard work, challenges, and risks - but as they say, the harder the climb, the more rewarding the summit!

Answer

I'm not particularly good at cooking, so I would say washing the dishes... but before that, I would make sure that everything is well organized and goes smoothly 😊. I like to be helpful and create conditions for others to have a good time. I'm happy when I can make other people happy.
