Hilti NA Director Moves to GB to Lead on Europe<\/h1>\n

HILTI’S NORTH AMERICAN<\/span>\u00a0<\/b>Marketing Director, Thibaud Lefebvre, has moved to the UK to take up a senior leadership position in the company\u2019s GB and northern European region.<\/p>\n

Thibaud Lefebvre is now the GB vice president and a member of the European leadership team covering GB, Ireland, Finland, Sweden and Denmark.<\/p>\n

Beginning his career with Hilti in 2001 in his native France, Lefebvre worked in various sales roles before relocating to Spain in 2012 as a sales director for the south of Spain and Canary Islands.<\/p>\n

He joined Hilti Canada in 2018 as sales director for the largest division in Hilti North America, going on to lead the business unit for tool services and software in 2020 as marketing director and member of the North America marketing leadership team. His responsibilities included the tool repair network, warranty and service concepts as well as Hilti\u2019s software and internet of things (IoT) business in the region.<\/p>\n

Hilti\u2019s US Director Moves to GB <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lefebvre\u2019s move to\u00a0Hilti GB<\/a>\u00a0sees him sit alongside long-standing sales director and fellow VP, Gareth Prosser.<\/p>\n

A passionate advocate of digitisation across the industry, Thibaud Lefebvre\u2019s position will be heavily focused on modernisation for Hilti\u2019s customers via technology.<\/p>\n

Thibaud Lefebvre said: \u201cProductivity in construction lags behind other sectors, and has stagnated for over 20 years as a result. Construction is one of the least\u00a0digitised\u00a0sectors, but this means there is huge opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction sector can make significant gains in productivity and thus profitability by embracing the advantages of new technologies, IoT and\u00a0digitalisation. As an example, our customers have tried many things to manage, optimise and track small tools and equipment, but it\u2019s still one of the biggest challenges they face today. Our research shows that each jobsite loses on average two days per month of productivity due to workers searching for tools, or not having the right performing tools.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly believe we can make construction better, and we, at Hilti, deliver productive solutions, software and services to make it so.\u00a0We have what is needed to become the\u00a0best productivity partner of our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
