New chief operating officer will help to drive operational excellence

Alterface, a leader in interactive technology, has announced the promotion of François Danhaive to chief operating officer.

With the company since 2008, Danhaive has led projects from start to finish, ensuring successful and high-quality results. His promotion enhances Alterface’s operational leadership and helps with the company’s continued international growth, following recent business developments in the US, China, and Korea.

Danhaive has over 15 years of experience at Alterface, progressing from leadership roles in projects and production to become a program manager, coordinating management teams, clients, and partners across nearly all Alterface projects. Renowned for his problem-solving skills in difficult situations, he reliably fulfils client needs with creativity and calmness, adjusting as needed without compromising quality. 

During this period, he has been instrumental in bringing the company’s innovative attractions to life, managing each project with a strong focus on quality, innovation, and guest satisfaction. His direct involvement and teamwork-oriented style have earned him a reputation as a trusted figure among clients and partners globally.

A key part of the team

Stéphane Bataille, CEO of Alterface, says: “François has been a key part of Alterface for more than 15 years, contributing to the success of countless projects and helping shape our reputation for operational excellence. Promoting him to COO is a natural step, and we look forward to seeing him guide our teams to even greater achievements.”

Danhaive adds: “What drives me every day is delivering great experiences to our clients while keeping projects on track and on budget. I’ve learned to turn challenges into opportunities, from tight deadlines to on-site surprises. I enjoy working with different cultures and partners, bringing ideas to life through collaboration, hard work, and a bit of magic!

“As COO, I look forward to continuing this journey, working alongside our teams to achieve excellence in every project we deliver.”

Danhaive will join the Alterface booth at IAAPA Expo Europe in Barcelona from 23 – 25 September. Partners and clients are encouraged to stop by booth #1253 to meet him and discuss current and future projects.

Earlier this year, Alterface celebrated the launch of SpongeBob’s Crazy Carnival Ride at The Land of Legends in Antalya, Turkey.
