From July 2011 to December 2019
J'ai travaillé en tant que Directeur Général et membre du Board pour développer l'activité, la rentabilité, le portefeuille de produits, les équipes. En quelques années, j'ai réussi à faire de Dermaceutic une marque en forte croissance avec une excellente rentabilité avec plus de 30% de marge.
En mai 2019 : j'ai lancé l'alerte concernant plusieurs non conformités. Des actions rectificatives ont eu lieu et d'autres sont en cours (par exemple le rappel des dispositifs médicaux par l'ANSM en 2020) .
Lucas drove the Dermaceutic business in the following areas: corporate strategy, brand positioning, marketing / branding, upstream R&D program, new initiatives, operational marketing, product supply, organization processes, recruitment and financial planning.
As GM Lucas successfully led top-line growth and the high-paced expansion of Dermaceutic which became a highly profitable (30%+), trusted brand, through a combination of licensed products, new products, new suppliers, new concepts, new branding, new segmentation and new medical devices.
As a minority shareholder, Lucas is currently seeking that the Company is properly tooled for long-term success: for patients, consumers, partner doctors and clinics, as well as regulators and authorities and believes that all stakeholders deserve honesty and integrity.
