Valérie Soulard-Brin, international export development manager of Gautier, shares more about the French brand’s focus on children’s furniture and interior trends to watch.
Was it ever your intention to join the family business?
No, never. My father, Dominique Soulard, was of the opinion that we should do what we want to do, and decide if we would like to join the company full-time. It’s been 18 years since I joined Gautier, and my brother David Soulard is now overseeing the company as the chief executive officer. My father is always pushing for good communication—while David makes the final decisions, we do discuss these decisions together. Although we don’t work in the same department, it’s always good to share ideas.
What makes Gautier so unique?
