Reorganization of the SASSO sales team

Following the departure of Pascal Fouineau, Sales Manager for Europe and the Middle East, and the arrival of Jean-Kob Gascon-Tarquino, we have temporarily reorganized our sales team and strengthened our technical team to ensure the best possible support for our customers.

New distribution of commercial areas

In order to maintain a local presence, responsibilities have been reassigned as follows:

  • Julian Huijboom, already responsible for the Middle East for the Ponte business, will also take over this area for Traditional Poultry.
  • Edouard Perrault, Sales Director, will now cover Ukraine and the CIS countries, in collaboration with our local agent Bernard Wilem.
  • Louis Perrault, Sales Representative for French-speaking Africa, will now take charge of the Europe region.

We would like to warmly thank Pascal for his commitment, professionalism, and the work he has done to develop this region and support our customers.

Welcome to Jean Kob Gascon-Tarquino

We are also pleased to welcome Jean Kob Gascon-Tarquino, who joined our team on November 3, 2025 as a sales representative for the Africa region.

The coming months will be devoted to a transition phase and in-depth training in collaboration with Louis Perrault, who will gradually focus on the Europe region.

In addition to French-speaking Africa, Jean Kob will take over:

  • Morocco and Tunisia, previously covered by Pascal Fouineau;
  • Kenya and Uganda, currently managed by Wilfred van der Kooij, Sales Representative for English-speaking Africa.

These adjustments will allow Wilfred to devote more time to providing technical support to our teams and customers.

With a master's degree in market intelligence and international business strategy, Jean Kob has a solid knowledge of the African continent. He has lived in Ivory Coast and worked in Niger, Gabon, and Senegal on previous assignments.

Passionate about culture, history, and sports, particularly rugby, he brings complementary expertise and an enriching vision to our team.

We would like to welcome Jean Kob Gascon-Tarquino and wish him every success in his new role.

This reorganization will enable us to strengthen our relationship with our partners while ensuring optimal continuity in all areas concerned.
