Alto-Shaam Strengthens European Leadership Team with Senior Promotion

Further investing in support for key customers, partners and dealers across Europe, Alto-Shaam has promoted Francesca La Chiusa to the role of European Sales Director. 

Francesca joined Alto-Shaam as European Business Development Manager in 2018 and has continually impressed, demonstrating her ability to develop and create strategic partnerships in new markets, expanding Alto-Shaam’s presence across Europe, as well as providing world-class support to the company’s international distributor network. 

In her new role, Francesca will be responsible for further developing Alto-Shaam’s European strategy in line with the company’s goals and objectives, as well as driving category growth and dealer enablement. She will also be responsible for expanded leadership of team members and market growth throughout Europe, with added responsibility of France and Germany teams.

Simon Parke-Davis, Alto-Shaam VP of sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), says Francesca’s experience, enthusiasm and leadership made her the obvious choice for the role: “Since joining the business in 2018, we have seen Alto-Shaam continue to go from strength to strength, expanding our presence and offering across Europe and globally.

“Francesca has faced every challenge, embracing herself in all facets of the business, always working with the best interests of our partners and customers in mind. I look forward to continue working closely with her as we further drive success and growth of the business.”
