French factoring business (following his role as deputy CEO at

Factorem and VR Factorem.
Philippe Zamaron is deputy CEO in charge of
the international activity, overlooking both leasing and factoring
abroad. His previous roles included various managerial and
supervisory positions at Eurofactor and Crédit Agricole’s
International retail banking.
Zamaron will be in charge of the company’s key
markets in Europe, including Italy and Spain in Western Europe, and
Poland in Eastern Europe through EFL.
Poland, which is Crédit Agricole’s largest
business after France, will remain one of Zamaron’s top priorities
for future development.
He told Leasing Life: “We have been
involved in Poland for 10 years, and since the beginning this
country has proved to be a good destination for business. Its
resistance to the financial crisis [last year, Poland was the only
EU country with a positive GDP] has reinforced this idea for
us.”
Zamaron also listed a strong management team
led by Andrzej Krzeminski, the close link with the parent group,
and well-developed relationships with vendors and dealerships, as
key elements of EFL’s success in Poland.
