Point S strengthens its management committee with the arrival of two high-level female executives, instilling parity within the management committee for the first time.
“We are very happy to welcome Cécile Vasquez and Déborah Binisti to the Point S group’s management committee, which now includes four women and three men by my side. Even if they were of course selected for the wealth and quality of their skills and experience, their appointments also bring a certain evolution in an automotive environment that is still too masculine”, welcomes Christophe Rollet, the general manager of the Lyon group.
Cecile Vasquez, The 45-year-old who takes over the management of purchasing and key accounts at Viasso, the Point S plant, has more than twenty years of experience in the automotive sector.

Responsible for the development of the brand in the Ile-de-France region for more than a year, she is now entrusted with the responsibility of network development for the whole of France.
