Business biography

Philippe Renan – Sales and Marketing Leader | EMEA Business Development Expert

With over 20 years of experience in sales, marketing, and business development across Europe, Philippe Renan is a seasoned professional recognized for driving measurable results and developing growth strategies in both B2B and B2C environments. He specializes in key account management, cross-functional leadership, and optimizing commercial operations.

Philippe began his career working with global brands such as Creative Labs, Thomson, and Panasonic, where he strengthened their market positions through expertise in product management, distribution strategy, and negotiation. As Sales and Marketing Director at Audio-Technica, he grew revenues exponentially in just five years, establishing the brand as a leader in the European turntable market.

In 2017, Philippe joined Victrola to establish and grow its European operations. Recognizing the need for a legal representation structure in Europe, he founded Possible-Music in 2021 to serve as the operational platform for Victrola’s sales, marketing, logistics, and partnerships across the EMEA region. This agile and efficient structure supported Victrola’s growth, achieving significant value sales of Turntables . While Possible-Music included a creative music component, this was a secondary and complementary aspect of the business, allowing Philippe to promote his album developped during COVID time.

The closure of Possible-Music in 2024 was a strategic decision aligned with Victrola’s integration of its European operations into a centralized structure. This transition highlights Philippe’s ability to lead complex projects and guide organizations through structural changes.

Key areas of expertise include Sales Management, Marketing and Digital Strategy, Leadership and Team Management.

Philippe has also completed professional development programs at ESSEC and HEC Paris, focusing on finance, negotiation, and management, which have further enhanced his ability to tackle strategic and operational challenges. He combines professionalism with creativity to deliver value and growth for the organizations he supports.

Outside of work, Philippe is passionate about music, international cultures, and personal development, enriching his strategic and human approach to his professional endeavors.
