Lectra, the world leader in integrated technology solutions

the appointment of Edouard Macquin to the Executive Committee. He
joins Daniel Harari, CEO and Chairman of the Executive Committee,

Macquin has served as Lectra's Worldwide Sales Director. "Lectra
has set five strategic objectives for 2013-2015: accentuate
technological leadership, strengthen our competitive position and
long-term relationships with customers, accelerate organic growth,
boost profitability by regularly increasing the operating margin,
and generate free cash flow serving to finance future growth," said
Daniel Harari. "Edouard brings together a rare combination of
qualities and experience. As a dynamic team-builder and true
entrepreneur, he exemplifies the ambition in the Lectra roadmap for
our sales teams. Véronique Zoccoletto, Jérôme Viala, and I are
delighted to welcome him to the Executive Committee." In late 2011,
Lectra launched a transformation plan with investment totaling €50
million over the 2012-2015 period. The plan calls for doubling the
sales force managed by Edouard Macquin, while strengthening
marketing, consulting, and R&D teams. Objectives include
restoring double-digit annual growth. "Based in France, Lectra has
built up a major worldwide presence and has a privileged
relationship with major brands and manufacturers worldwide," stated
Edouard Macquin. "I am proud to have contributed to Lectra's
development over the past 27 years. My priority today is to
complete the construction of a sales and marketing team capable of
driving Lectra's growth and accompanying our customers as they
address their future challenges." Edouard Macquin, 48, holds an MBA
from São Paulo Business School and speaks French, English,
Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian. He joined Lectra in 1987 in
R&D and later assumed various positions in services and then
marketing, in France, Italy, the United States, and Brazil. In
