Laurent Mélignon (39) is the new Corporate Sales Director at Arval Belgium since 1 October. Mélignon began his career at Arval in 2007 as account manager and is a well-known and valued face within the mobility solutions company.
Mélignon achieved his qualification in Marketing at the college EPHEC and started his career as an account manager with Arval Belgium. He then held functions such as Business Manager, Sales Team Manager and, until recently, Head of Mid-Market. In this last position, he demonstrated his capacity to implement strategies, allowing Arval to tackle market challenges and simultaneously realise the company’s ambitious commercial objectives. “With his many years of experience in sales and his thorough knowledge of both the company and the market, he is the ideal person to lead the department,” as stated by the management team.
In addition to his long career in the sales department, Laurent is also one of Arval’s ambassadors. With his characteristic energy and enthusiasm, he actively promotes the Arval brand. It therefore goes without saying that both Mélignon and the management team at Arval are looking forward to this new phase in his career and future collaborations with the teams he knows so well.
“Arval Belgium is my first and only employer and I am enormously proud of this. Our relationship is based on mutual engagement and trust. I feel at home within the organisation and am delighted that I can continue my professional development here. You must seize all the opportunities that come your way. I am hugely enthusiastic about this new step and committed to doing all I can for the various teams.”
