Europcar Belgium, market leader for car rental and an important player in mobility in the country, has appointed Michaël Xhonneux as its new Sales & Marketing Director.
Prior to his new function, Mr. Xhonneux, pictured, was general manager for 6.5 years at Dekra Automotive Solutions Belgium. Before that, he held several executive functions at D’Ieteren, including that of sales manager for the Rent-a-Car business.
In a press statement, Europcar Belgium praised Mr. Xhonneux's extensive experience of the rental market, and in management positions. An important aspect of his new job will be to develop B2B sales and further improve the visibility of the Europcar brand.
Mr. Xhonneux replaces Laura De Marca, who combined the sales & marketing directorship with responsibilities for operations and RCM. She will now be able to focus exclusively on the latter roles.
Tom Van Orshoven, already responsible for fleet & purchasing, will join Mr. Xhonneux, Ms. De Marca and Deputy General Manager Steven Pauwels in the company's management committee.
In other Europcar news, Didier Fenix, General Director for Europcar France and Belgium, has just been elected president of Métiers de la Mobilité Partagée of CNPA, the French National Council of Automotive Industries. MMP is a committee that unites rental and shared-use companies and professionals and aims to harmonise the cooperation between various forms of renting and sharing vehicles.
