Carrefour French retailer, with 1.13bn-euro turnover in 2010,has appointed a domestic entrepreneur, Vlad Ardeleanu, as head ofprocurement.

Ardelean in 2008 tried to set up a credit brokerage, IpoteciDirect, which did not survive on the market, though.

This is a promotion for Ardeleanu, who had first taken over withCarrefour the position of managing director of the real estateunit, Carrefour Property.

Ardeleanu is also one of the founders of Artima supermarketchain. This is one of the few examples on the labour market wherean entrepreneur takes over manager positions with a multinational,with most of the times the trend being the opposite one, withbusinesspeople leaving multinationals to launch their ownbusinesses.

Ardeleanu was recruited by Carrefour as soon as its IpoteciDirect business failed. He will replace Arnaud Dussaix, 37. Dussaixwill remain in Romania, with Carrefour, and will fill the positionof project manager and operating officer for a new format andcommercial model, according to Andreea Mihai, Carrefour Romania'smarketing manager. He did not provide any further details on thisnew project, though.
