Expatriation and high-level sport: Guillaume Besnouin competing in the Hyrox World Championships
At Poclain, performance is not only expressed through our industrial projects or our ability to innovate. It is also reflected in the journeys of our employees, their personal commitments, and their drive to push their limits.
Competing in the Hyrox World Championships in Stockholm
This year, Guillaume Besnouin, Key Account Manager and expatriate in the United States, is about to take on a major sporting challenge: the Hyrox World Championships, which will take place on June 19 in Stockholm.
With nearly 15 years at Poclain, Guillaume has built a career marked by growth, international mobility, and a taste for challenge—dimensions that are integral to the Group’s DNA.
Alongside his role at Poclain, Guillaume has been practicing demanding sports for several years. Marathon, triathlon, and now Hyrox: a complete and intense discipline where consistency, resilience, and effort management are key. Values he naturally applies in his professional daily life.
Having qualified for the World Championships after several competitions in the United States, Guillaume is now preparing to take on this challenge with a clear objective: to give his very best.
