INTERNATIONAL. At the recent TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes, Avolta CEO Xavier Rossinyol spoke exclusively to The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie.
In this wide-ranging, candid and at times deeply personal interview, Rossinyol previewed Avolta IQ, an initiative revealed publicly later that day to a packed audience of sector stakeholders at the Avolta Cocktail.
Avolta IQ is the company’s proprietary commercial intelligence engine designed to start with the traveller.
By bringing together signals from across its global network, Avolta IQ is designed to help the retailer better understand traveller demand, preferences and context by location and time, turning insights into more relevant offers, activations and experiences.
Combined with the expertise of Avolta’s brand partners, the platform is intended to create greater value across the travel ecosystem – for travellers, brands and the company’s airport partners.
Rossinyol also spoke eloquently, passionately and positively on his and Avolta’s journey since he assumed the leadership reins of what was then Dufry on 1 June 2022. And he ended on a surprise note, turning the tables on Martin Moodie. ✈
