About Christian

Sales Director specializing in B2B event strategy, business development, and public relations, I have been supporting premium venues, brands, and companies in structuring and accelerating their growth for over 20 years.

My career has been built in demanding environments where commercial performance relies on a clear strategic vision, strong interpersonal skills, and structured management.

For 9 years at Maxim's de Paris, alongside Pierre Cardin, I developed and managed the commercial and event department, led a team of 11 employees, and strengthened the corporate client base through an approach based on public relations and high-potential partnerships.

In an agency setting at Salles Parisiennes, I led the development of the B2B event department and the company's public relations. I structured the commercial offering, defined the market positioning, targeted strategic accounts, and developed a solid network of agencies and advertisers. My role also included sales management, organizing sales processes, monitoring revenue, and overall project coordination, from brief to invoicing.

At Keysvenue, I am currently supporting the corporate event sales development of our premium venue collection by implementing tailor-made B2B strategies. I am involved in repositioning offerings, identifying and creating business opportunities, structuring and managing sales teams, and optimizing performance and revenue.
