He was appointed as Technical Manager for the EMEA and Brazil Regions in 2007, and integrated industry data analyses from 2009 into his missions. Since then Claude develops specific analysis tools, integrating technical data of Hubbard product performances and actively participates in technical support and marketing of Hubbard.2018 therefore consolidates the gradual orientations of Claude’s career, who now embraces the management of the Hubbard Premium product range. He will therefore be in charge of collecting, monitoring and analysing Hubbard Premium product’ performances from the field, feeding this back to the R&D, Technical and Commercial teams.In this new role market positioning and product analyses will largely integrate the strategic choices made and will play a major role in the further strengthening of the product range.David Fyfe adds: “Claude’s comprehensive background definitely will help in further consolidating Hubbard’s leadership in the premium market segment and in further developing the product range.
