Dr. Jean-Pascal Danneels

A 1990 graduate of the National Veterinary School of Toulouse, with a postgraduate diploma in Tropical Pathology from IEMVT Alfort, Jean-Pascal Danneels-Casabianca brings over 30 years of experience spanning clinical practice, management, and international strategic development. 

After beginning his career in small animal practice in southern France and serving with the Veterinary Services in French Guiana, he joined the MARS – UNISABI group in 1994. He initially led veterinary petfood business development in southwest France before  establishing professional veterinary and pet retail distribution networks in La Réunion and overseeing multi-brand distribution across the Indian Ocean region. He later served as Sub-Saharan Africa Director (English- and French-speaking), where he developed and structured distribution networks and expanded international markets. Following a leadership role within Groupe Casino in New Caledonia, he returned to his core profession in 2003 and is now based in La Réunion, where he owns and manages two small animal veterinary clinics while remaining actively involved in daily clinical practice. 

With a unique hybrid profile combining medical expertise, entrepreneurship, and international management, he continues to balance clinical work, business leadership, and active engagement in professional advocacy and sports such as golf and padel. He is committed to actively contributing to collective development and to defending the independence of the veterinary profession.
