Guénaël Cice celebrates his 30th year with Colart!
Today we recognise Guénaël Cice, National Account Manager, Fine Arts for his 30 year service milestone with Colart
Guénaël's professional journey began at Colart with a memorable road trip from Montpellier to Lille and since then the rest is history. As Guénaël says:
"Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday that I packed my car to leave Montpellier to head to Lille where I was welcomed by the local Ch'ti, Christian Thilot (any resemblance to a film is purely coincidental). And from there, everything happened so quickly which is a great sign that I wasn't bored.
Spending 30 years in a company depends on the opportunity to grow and develop and of course coming with the mindset to take opportunities when they arise. Being led by Managers committed to developing people with trust and clarity is an important part too.
Fortunately, this has been my experience with Christophe Flaugère entrusting me with a Regional Director position, and Thierry Collot, who was able to give me the responsibilities I aspired to, starting with overseeing overseas projects and then managing national key accounts in the French and Belgian FA markets.
However, looking backwards is an uninspiring and reductive exercise, especially in the commercial world where one year follows another, and we are always faced with new challenges.
At the heart of business is the human relationship, and I have had the opportunity to work with a generational mix, the best engine for continuously learning and progressing. So whilst feet may be rooted in the past, our eyes should be set on the future."
Congratulations Guénaël!
30 years is a real sign of commitment and something you can be proud of.
