Patrick has more than 30 years of experience in the automotive industry, and has a proven track record of moving businesses forward and building growth across staffing, contract wins and turnover. He was key in growing Cobra sales (from €15m to over €170m in 2011) and scale (from one Italian plant to a global footprint in Europe, China, Korea,
Japan, Brazil and Argentina). He directly recruited key account managers and has won contracts with main vehicle manufacturers worldwide.
Coming originally from a background of managing a car dealership, Patrick has a strong knowledge of sales networks, and has worked previously with IVECO and FIAT. He joined the Cobra group in 1991 and by 2011 had grown sales from €15m to over €170m. In that time, the company expanded from a single plant based in Italy, to a global footprint across Europe.
Before joining Cobra, Patrick managed dealership development of Saab in France, and was also involved in the launch of the financial arm of Saab Scania. These projects have been possible due to the strong knowledge of sales networks.
