About Frank Brassart

If your dreams don\'t scare you, they are not big enough!I am an international senior executive with a solid track record in leading global expansion and go-to-market strategy for products and services related business units, both globally and in the EMEA region, overseeing product, pre-sales, sales and marketing. I have a strong experience in commercial and operational business management, and particularly in building up new teams and scaling up new business in both consumer and commercial customer segments.Take the risk or lose the chance.I am passionate about digital disruption. I believe that technology must be at the service of people and help improve our society while having a positive impact on the environment. During the pandemic I moved to the world of entrepreneurship to help young entrepreneurs to strengthen their digitalisation-focused projects and achieve their goals. I also joined Impress (recognised as one of the fastest-growing HealthTech companies according to Forbes and ranked on LinkedIn Top Startups) as their Chief Revenue Officer, to help improve the smiles of thousands of people by leading the expansion of this new generation of orthodontic chains that digitalize the orthodontic experience for patients. The company raised $125M Series B in July 2022 to support its forthcoming expansion plans.Now I am back to my first loves in IT. So proud to be part of a world-class leading company like Microsoft with strong core values focusing on innovation, trustworthy computing, diversity and inclusion, corporate social responsibility, philanthropies, and environment.I am a strong believer in passion, people, serendipity and growth mindset. I never lose. I either win or I learn - Nelson Mandela. When everything seems to be against you, remember that the aircraft takes off against the wind, not with it - Henry Ford.Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing - Pele.
