From intern to Director at Fordce: this KEDGE graduate has had a remarkable career
A 1993 graduate of KEDGE Bordeaux's GEP, Marc Jenniches has just been appointed Director of Ford Enterprise.
As soon as they join the working world, some of our school’s graduates find a company in which they feel 100% fulfilled. Marc Jenniches, who graduated from our Bordeaux campus in 1993, is a perfect example.
Entering by the back door as an intern in the Regional Direction of Bordeaux while he was still a student at KEDGE in 1995, Marc officially became an employee of the Ford Group as an Advertising Specialist in 1995, and quickly advanced to Zone Manager VN, followed by Regional Marketing Coordinator. He worked for Ford Credit - FCE Bank after that for six years before becoming Sales and Marketing Manager in 2008. Until the end of 2020, Marc served as Director of Utilitarian Vehicle Sales. 30 years after joining the group, Marc is now taking over the management of Ford France, succeeding Fabrice Giacoletti. He has held a faultless and accomplished career, which he has devoted to Ford.
In this new role, he will be responsible for sales to businesses (companies, key accounts, direct sales), long and short-term leases, procurement contracts, Ford Rent, leisure vehicles, remarketing, and used vehicles. This position also gives him a seat as a Member of the Ford France Management Committee.
"I went to work at Ford in its Regional Management Bordeaux Department as an intern, then went on to do two other internships, and finally a job in 1994. And I had the pleasure of returning to Bordeaux in 2001 as part of a position at Ford Credit. All in nearly 30 years at the Ford company, in various positions, with exciting assignments related to our dealership network," explained Marc.
The automotive industry sector has been a success story for many of our graduates, and an increasing number of them are making a name for themselves in the field. Profiles of these Alumni can be found in our article "11 Kedgers Who've Succeeded in the Automobile World!".
During his time at KEDGE Business School, Marc stood out as Chairman of the junior enterprise, AMS. Thirty years later, AMS is still active and offers its clients customised support.
"I have excellent memories of my time at KEDGE Bordeaux," said Marc. "In particular, my time at AMS with a great team, some of whom are still friends". He added, "Greetings to all the graduates and AMS Alumni and congratulations for the management of the Alumni network".
We wish Marc a safe journey (at the wheel of a Ford, of course)!
