Specific Diagnostics today announced the appointment of Erwan Seznec as Head of Commercial Operations for France & Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) as it rapidly expands its commercial operations in Europe. Previously Mr. Seznec was the French Regional Sales Manager for Beckman Coulter’s Microbiology portfolio, where he oversaw sales of the Beckman Coulter MicroScan system in France, and hence has deep domain knowledge within the susceptibility testing product arena.

“With our CE-IVD registration we continue to add more evaluation sites in France,” said Dr. Paul A. Rhodes, Specific’s CEO. “Erwan’s extraordinary knowledge and experience in the microbiology space will be an asset in supporting our rapidly growing list of customer engagements as our European footprint expands.”
“I believe Specific Diagnostics’ automated system, the Reveal®, will drastically change the way hospitals are treating septic patients, providing faster results for an earlier adapted antibiotic treatment” said Mr. Seznec. “I joined the team to help launch a technology that will revolutionize the way the microbiology laboratory handles time-critical patient samples.”
Prior to the diagnostic industry, Mr. Seznec worked in HR Services for 10 years where he managed sales, marketing and communication teams, implementing new HR services embedded with IT solutions bringing over 5M€ in incremental revenue.
