Meet the new MedAire-Geneva aviation team: Emmanuel Chevron and Rayan Fetouni.

Emmanuel Chevron, business development manager for Southern & Central Europe, has 12 years of experience in multicultural business development for business-to-business industries. He started his career at a regional airline doing sales and promotional work. Before joining MedAire, Emmanuel was at International SOS for 9 years. His positions, which grew in responsibility through the years, last included a dual role as business development director and global account manager. He expertly managed an impressive portfolio of key global accounts for International SOS, and will continue to do so for MedAire. Emmanuel is fluent in French, English and German.

Rayan Fetouni, account manager, was hired for his strong customer relationship and management skills. He, too, was with International SOS before joining MedAire. Rayan—who focused his efforts on clients in Central/Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa—will manage MedAire accounts by providing dedicated sales and administrative support. Rayan is fluent in French, German and English.

"MedAire continues to invest in the European market, where local presence and support will now be at hand,” says MedAire Worldwide CEO Grant Jeffery. “A global company with a local presence is key to address clients’ needs fully, and MedAire is committed to this approach.”
