About Christophe AUTAIN
“I know Christophe AUTAIN since 1989 and we have
worked together in many occasions. Christophe has an overall view of High Tech
topics, and a good feeling for the IT market. Above all, he has such easiness
to understand technical issues and solutions.
With an experience in both Channels and End-users world, his vision for the
appropriate access to market is a major asset.
Hunter minded, Christophe is the most appropriate person to talk to for any
company willing to enter the European markets.”
"Distribution channels are very complex in France,
on top they evolve very quickly mass. Mars distribution is taking major share
while specialized multiples continue to be strong (Darty, Fnac, Boulanger).
Packard Bell a brand of Nec Computers International is number one in the consumer
market so we are well aware of this trend.
Christophe AUTAIN who has worked for me in the past has acquired a strong know
how about sales and marketing in the various channels of distribution in France
and as a result can be a strong asset to any launch in France.”

in setting up a European-wide sales organization as well as a HQs for Sales
and Marketing in Amsterdam. As for the French sales operation, Christophe AUTAIN
was responsible for "making things happen". He handled all strategic
and operational issues for France, as well as being responsible for all marketing
activities in France (collateral, exhibitions, seminars and more).
I will give Christophe AUTAIN my best recommendations for companies entering
the French market.”

“I had the privilege of working with Christophe AUTAN in the Telco/ISP
Messaging space for several years. In particular we worked on Southern Europe
and France. Christophe was responsible for all activities in the French market
including all client prospecting and meetings and creating the Appropriate approaches
including marketing, localization of all documentation and presentations, and
of course the full sales process.
I would recommend to talk to Christophe before entering Southern Europe markets.”
“When I met Christophe AUTAIN in 1997, I was responsible for marketing
mix and working on the catalog of a young mail order company called “3G”
dedicated to office supplies – a subsidiary of two leaders “LES
3 SUISSES” and “GUILBERT”.
I was a customer for Christophe, and he has shown a great availability and high
professionalism. I especially appreciated his capacity to propose things that
would set him above the competition. Today, we are still in touch and I would
say that he is definitely a good business developer.”
“Pascal has been leading the launch presentation
for ENFINITY, back in December 99, in front of 400 big accounts executives and
some of our partners. His skills for communication together with true talents
to talk to the public and to guide guest speakers is always a good mix for success.”

knowing what are the needs of both business and consumer markets, and understanding
the High Tech players’strategy. A synthetic mind combined with pragmatism
and good relational skills are making him a notorious and appreciated speaker.”
