Recognised for his people-oriented management and corporate culture, Franck will be committed to valuing the diversity of our employees and their potential, while guiding them towards collective performance”.

Rémy Cointreau is today recognised for its unique centuries-old heritage and its portfolio of exceptional brands. I will leverage my experience to pursue its value strategy and support the teams in a dynamic of sustainable performance.”
