Francois Debertrand

Chief Financial Officer - International

Francois joined Innova in October 2013 as Finance Director - International. With more than 20 years’ experience of financial roles in a multinational environment, he has covered operations spreading from California to New Zealand and Norway to South Africa. 

He started his career in France before moving to the UK after a short spell in the US and also worked for three years in the Netherlands. Francois gained exposure to the recruitment industry as the CFO for Europe at Monster, where he was a key contributor to a large-scale expansion across Europe, and also took responsibility for the staffing and executive search divisions of the group in southern Europe.

Francois has a passion for managing change and challenging situations in multinational fast-paced environments. His favourite quote is from Seneca: "If a man does not know to which port he is sailing, no wind is favourable to him."
