Claude Legrand

Born in Brussels, Belgium, during WWII I grew up in South of France, in Saint Tropez and lived ther until I went to the army. Then I worked in Paris for a few years (in door to door sales) and after for the US Army. I met my wife to be in Normandy and we moved to the East Coast (upstate NY). we lived ther 7 years. I was deeply involved in the new car business as a factory sales and technical manager then managing Director of a large multiple new car dealership in Southern Connecticut. We had 4 children (all US citizen). we moved back to Europe. There I worked again in the automobile world for a while, in Marketing and Advertising. But my passion for selling with printed words remained the strongest and I became involved in helping big international companies selling more with strong mailing campaigns. I have done billions of mailings, from concept and creation to copywriting, to printing to mailing and to analyses results. This gave me the opportunity to travel all over the world and acquire direct marketing, marketing and sales experience second to none. We lived in many of those countries, from Europe to China to Africa.
Now we are back in the US, on the West Coast and I am looking to sell my abilities to sell to businesses here, whatever small or large. And I have handled all the media (print, press, TV, radio, video and more).
I grew up in an artistic environment as my father, who passed away a few years back, is a very well know artist in Europe with paintings in many museums in the world, including NY, London, Beyrouth, Munich, paris and many more.
