Ginouves group is a family owned company involved in the distribution of petroleum products for B-to-B and B-to-C. My task is to help the Sales Team and Management to organize the launch of a new product, a very nice and good alternative to the diesel, made from rapeseed oil, 100% ecological. This new fuel is only for transportation companies (trucks, locomotives, barges). So I organize the "package" of it to help the Sales team to sell it on the market. It is a 6 month work time, end in December 2020.

GATX has proposed to me to open the French office and create GATX Rail France, and after 5 years of intensive work, I'm proud to say that GRF is now a recognized player, and we have a rented fleet of 850 cars for a turnover of 6.9 Mio of €, and I have also a team of 5 peple with me, although I was alone at the beginning.
