Gael Escribe (Franco-Dutch, 51) joined the automotive aftermarket world in 1997 at Valeo becoming general manager of Valeo Service Eastern Europe in 1999, followed by a GM assignment at Valeo Service Northern Europe in 2002. In 2005, he moved to Delphi Aftermarket as Vice-President EMEA and soon joined the European governance board of Delphi.
Following the globalization of the market and the expectation of fast-moving markets to get involved in a Global Alliance of automotive parts distributors, in 2014 he founded NEXUS Automotive International, which became after a few years the only truly global and progressive “International Trading Group”, with presence in over 145 countries.
