Director Finance & Administration

For the Benelux organization of Laboratoires Vivacy, a key transition arose when the Benelux activities, previously an independent distributor, were integrated under the Paris head office. After the acquisition of Laboratoires Vivacy by private equity firm Bridgepoint (€900 million, December 2022), the company required a Director Finance & Administration able to facilitate further growth.

Finance Appointments was asked to identify a candidate with international corporate experience, while also being able to operate hands-on in a smaller, entrepreneurial (SME) environment.

Result: A Director Finance & Administration was hired to streamline financial reporting and business analyses, strengthen alignment with the head office in Paris, and enable the Managing Director Benelux to rely on smooth management information and focus on business development.
