A French national, Vincent’s motorsport hospitality experience stretches back some 16 years. Having graduated from both the EDC Business School in Paris and University of Dallas (MBA), he began his business career in 1988 working for multi-national corporations in Mexico, Africa, France and the UK, before taking his first job in motorsport with the Tyrrell F1 team as Press Officer in 1994. Although primarily responsible for communications, his role also included hospitality work – regularly assisting the team’s VIP guests and sponsors at Grands Prix. In 1997, Vincent worked as a consultant to Silverstone Circuits and managed the set-up and day-to-day running of the media facilities during the British Grand Prix, overseeing 250+ journalists and 100 photographers. Vincent then established his own F3000 team – Kid Jensen Racing – and as Commercial Director, was in charge of sponsorship and hospitality programmes (the championship supported 10 European Grands Prix, including Monaco) until 2002 when the team was sold. In 2003, Vincent launched Pole Ltd and continued to develop his activities in bespoke events and hospitality programmes for various companies. These include Formula 1 races, at the Le Mans 24 Hours and Race of Champions events staged at Wembley Stadium in 2007 and at the Bird’s Nest Olympic stadium in ’09.Specialist areas: Bilingual in French and English, project management, problem solver, paddock insider, anticipates problems, extremely reliable, looks after clients, can be very creative.
