Michel Bord will be promoted to deputy managing director in charge of the distribution network and will work with Billot. His duties will include the organisation and control of the group’s distribution networks and implementation of brands’ strategies in the markets. Bord joined the group in 1991 and has been Americas chairman and CEO since 2006.
