Chosen for their industry knowledge and international work experience, French Foreign Trade Advisors share their skills on a voluntary basis to serve the French presence abroad. In addition to making recommendations to the government, CCEs mentor small and medium-sized companies in their global expansions and engage with young people to promote the V.I.E. (French international corporate volunteers) initiative.
In his role at Everbridge, Mr. Geffray oversees the company’s Global Product Marketing program as it continues to rapidly expand its international presence. Today, Everbridge provides critical event management (CEM) solutions to numerous businesses and government agencies across France including law enforcement, fire departments, ambulatory and emergency care, and commercial businesses.
