On a management level, de Charmoy is supported by Peter Lindstrom as the sales and marketing executive.

De Charmoy was appointed as the CEO at Primedia Face to Face in February 2009, when the business unit had lost its way. He re-structured the business and brought back confidence to the team.

Ratlou says that de Charmoy has made great strides in improving the overall performance aspects of Primedia Outdoor since his initial appointment. "He has taken a tough stance on the business and is making positive inroads every month to ensure it continues on its upward growth path."
