This experience allows me to guide customers toward the best-fit solutions for their needs. I’m excited about the opportunities ahead, especially with our biometric products. I collaborate closely with Stephan Rosseneu of Bergens, our trusted Trading Partner in France, as well as with Moneytronic, our biometrics partner in the Netherlands. Together, we’re committed to delivering strong results in age estimation and facial recognition technology.”

Thorsten concluded, “Stéphane brings a wealth of knowledge and customer insight to the role. I’m confident that his expertise will play a key role in helping us grow our customer base and reinforce our position in this important region.”
