Based in Ghent, Belgium, Arnaud will support Elation and Obsidian customers across Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, working closely with the company's distribution partners while spending much of his time visiting customers and strengthening relationships throughout the region.
Arnaud joins Elation with nearly a decade of experience in the professional lighting industry, where he has built an extensive network of relationships with lighting designers, rental companies, systems integrators and other industry professionals, both across the Benelux market and internationally.
A lifelong professional in the live events industry, Arnaud has worked closely with lighting designers and production companies throughout his career. He joins Elation from Chauvet, where he progressed from UK and Benelux Marketing Coordinator to International Marketing Manager, leading a global marketing team and coordinating international marketing initiatives.
Arnaud knows the Benelux market extremely well, and his marketing background is something you do not often find in a sales role. He understands the customers but also knows how to reach them. That combination is exactly what will help us and our partners continue to grow in the region, said Marc Librecht, Marketing & Sales Director at Elation Europe.
In his new role, Arnaud will work closely with Elation and Obsidian's distribution partners across the region, including Rolight, XLR and Controllux. In addition to identifying new business and collaboration opportunities, he will support distributors in delivering outstanding customer service, from product launches and demonstrations to ongoing sales and technical support. Drawing on his marketing expertise, he will also collaborate with Elation's marketing team to develop regional campaigns and promotional initiatives that drive growth across his territory and beyond.
It's a real pleasure to join the Elation family and work with brands that are so highly respected throughout the industry. The Benelux market offers tremendous opportunities, from outstanding theatres to a wealth of festivals, and I look forward to working closely with our distribution partners to help even more customers discover what Elation and Obsidian have to offer, said Arnaud.
