?I am very proud to assume this new role at Renault Trucks,? said Blaise, adding, ?The Greater Middle East region is very important for us and this has been demonstrated by the significant investments we?ve made in recent years. We?re thoroughly committed to serving our loyal customers in the Middle East and my primary objective is ensure that we continue to meet their needs and exceed their expectations.?

With an educational background in engineering and business, 46-year-old Blaise joined Renault Trucks in 1999 and successively held the positions of managing director for Renault Trucks Dealer Subsidiaries Holding for Strasbourg (2006-2010) and Marseille (2010-2012).
