and motivate cross-functional teams has earned him a reputation as a
collaborative and influential leader, and I'm thrilled to have him leading our
US division. As our US President, André's focus is on domestic growth in
North America while continuing to foster our culture of creativity and
excellence in the Cheerful Twentyfirst New York office."
