Laboratoires Pierre Fabre promoted Laurent-Emmanuel Saffré to president and chief executive officer of Pierre Fabre USA. In his new role, Saffré will oversee all pharmaceutical products and dermo-cosmetic brands, including René Furterer, Eau Thermale Avène, Glytone and Klorane, in the US in support of sustaining and growing Pierre Fabre’s worldwide renown in the realms of health and beauty.
“It is a privilege to be at the helm of a company so committed to the highest standards of excellence targeting medicine, family health and dermo-cosmetics,” said Saffré. Until now, Saffré has been manager of the Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmetique (PFDC) Americas (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico and Latin America zone) and the United Kingdom areas.
Saffré holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree, as well as a Master’s degree in management and marketing (ESSEC in 1996). Starting his career with Pierre Fabre in October 1996, Saffré represented A-Derma, a position pursued under the V.I.E status in the US within the Physicians Formula subsidiary. In 1998, he was promoted to vice president of the Americas. Saffré went on to join the PFDC Canada subsidiary in charge of marketing, becoming CEO of the subsidiary in 2003. In January 2008, Saffré was named manager of the Americas for the Dermo-Cosmetic branch.
“Leading Pierre Fabre USA into the future and building on our expertise as a driving force in the growth of pharmaceuticals and dermo-cosmetics in the USA is a challenge I welcome, and will meet with our dedicated team, who share the same vision for sustainable growth and success,” said Saffré.
