About

Trilingual Marketing & Sales | Italian Native | French & English C1 | Open to Switzerland

I'm David Bassot, a trilingual profile in the commercial area (Italian native, French and English C1) with international experience in B2B and B2G environments.
My background spans Business Development at Flying Whales - a Parisian aeronautics scale-up where I contributed to market entry strategies across international markets alongside the Sales Director - and commercial analysis at CMA CGM, one of the world's leading shipping groups.
What sets me apart: my trilingualism and deep knowledge of the Italian, French and Swiss markets are concrete assets for any company looking to grow across Europe. I'm energetic, results-driven, and genuinely passionate about building lasting relationships.
Born deaf, I speak three languages - a journey that has shaped my resilience and determination in every professional environment.
I'm currently based in Paris and actively exploring opportunities in Switzerland — particularly in sales, business development, or institutional relations roles within dynamic and international environments.
Open to: SDR, BDR, Account Executive, Business Development, Partnerships, Public Affairs.
