A natural, energetic leader, Philippe Guerreau utilizes storytelling and his passion for the direct sales industry to inspire action that delivers significant financial results and operational efficiencies. His lasting success can be attributed to his organizational management skills and his executive ability to develop, implement, and influence best practices in the areas of sales, marketing, budgeting, purchasing, forecasting, and supply chain and inventory management.
As SeneGence’s President since March 2017, Philippe directs all functions to implement the Founder and CEO’s vision, drives all operational initiatives and priorities in all areas, and develops long-term domestic and international growth strategies. Prior to his current role, Philippe served on the SeneGence Advisory Board for over four years and provided strategic financial, operational, and marketing development support to the executive team during the company’s recent years of growth.
