Lagardère Travel Retail today announces appointments to its Executive Committee, designed to further strengthen its leadership team as the company enters the next phase of its development.

These appointments are designed to reinforce the organisation’s collective capabilities, adding complementary expertise and building on the strong foundation that has enabled the company’s recent growth. They will further support Lagardère Travel Retail’s determination to deliver high standards of execution and operational excellence, while fostering a culture of continuous improvement across the organisation and creating long-term value for stakeholders and business partners.

As part of this evolution, Jérôme Petit joins the Executive Committee as Deputy CEO, reporting to President and CEO Frédéric Chevalier. With over three decades of international leadership experience, including extensive operational responsibilities across Asia, Africa and Europe, he brings considerable expertise in business development, operational management and the leadership of complex, multicultural organisations. His appointment reflects the company’s commitment to combining operational expertise with international leadership experience at Executive Committee level.

The Executive Committee is also strengthened by the appointment of David-Alexandre Fournier as Chief Human Resources & CSR Officer. Bringing more than 20 years of experience in senior HR leadership roles within large international organisations, David-Alexandre will oversee the company’s HR strategy and continue to support the development of its organisation, talent and culture across all geographies. He will also lead Lagardère Travel Retail’s CSR strategy, further embedding its PEPS roadmap across the business.

The evolution of the Executive Committee is also reflected in a number of changes to the responsibilities of existing members, further leveraging the breadth of expertise within the leadership team and supporting closer alignment in key regions.

Lucio Rossetto will expand his remit to include North America alongside his current responsibilities for Europe. Vincent Romet will assume responsibility for the entire Asia region, in addition to his existing scope covering the Middle East, Africa, France and Luxembourg. Charlotte Delmas, who will continue in her role as Chief Operational Performance Officer, will take on responsibility for Latin America and Switzerland, complementing her current scope in four European countries. She will be supported by Javier Cagigal, currently CEO for Spain & Portugal, who is appointed Deputy COO for Latin America in addition to his existing responsibilities on the Iberian peninsula.

In addition, several members of the Executive Committee will continue in their current roles, further reinforcing the strength and continuity of the leadership team. Luc Mansion will add Strategy to his existing responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Operating Officer Pacific. Lylian Vignau will continue in his role as Chief Commercial and Digital Officer, and Michel Sibony will continue in his role as Chief Value Officer.

Commenting on the announcement, Frédéric Chevalier, President and CEO of Lagardère Travel Retail, said: “These Executive Committee appointments reflect the next step in the evolution of Lagardère Travel Retail. We are strengthening a proven leadership team, while reinforcing key areas of expertise to support our operations across all regions. Our priority remains unchanged: to serve our teams and partners with the highest standards of execution, while continuing to improve how we work every day.
