GRANT ALEXANDER WELCOMES EMMANUELLE FARAND AS MARKETING & COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR
A reference player for 30 years in the headhunting market through direct approach, Grant Alexander has since diversified and now supports its clients in organizational transformation, helping them on all aspects of mobilizing and developing individual and collective skills. To strengthen the group’s premium brand image, showcase its comprehensive approach, and support its growth strategy in France and internationally, Grant Alexander welcomes Emmanuelle Farand as Marketing & Communication Director.
Graduated from the Grande École program at INSEEC Paris and holding an MBA in Luxury Brand Marketing and International Management from Sup de Luxe (EDC Paris) and a Master 1 in LEA International Business from Aix-Marseille University, Emmanuelle Farand has over 20 years of experience in creating and developing brands in France and internationally, mainly in the Banking-Finance and HR Consulting sectors.
She began her career in asset management, notably within an American firm, establishing the brand in France before taking responsibility for marketing and communication for continental Europe. In 2012, she decided to move into the people business, joining a pure-player in executive interim management to develop the function and strengthen the company’s brand image, now the number one in Europe.
She now joins Grant Alexander, reporting to Henri Vidalinc, President of Grant Alexander, and is appointed to the executive committee.
“We are delighted to welcome Emmanuelle to the group. Her arrival coincides with a new stage in Grant Alexander’s journey. Her role will be key in our growth and diversification strategy. Her experience and skills are real assets that will allow us to extend the brand equity we already enjoy in Executive Search to all other activities, strengthen our premium positioning, increase our visibility, promote our various offerings, and improve the client and candidate experience. With a clear and shared objective: to be the preferred firm for the leaders and organizations we support in their transformation challenges in France and internationally, providing HR solutions that are always tailored, innovative, and performance-driven,” says Henri Vidalinc, President of Grant Alexander.
