INTERNATIONAL. Altadis Global Duty Free Manager Jean-Philippe Aucher will leave the Group at the end of this month.
A highly-regarded figure in the travel retail channel, Aucher built-up the company’s duty free division from 2001. In particular he steadily positioned Altadis as a dynamic and innovative supplier with its flagship brand Gauloises and the more recent luxury launch Montecristo.
He was also a member of the French travel retail association AFCOV’s executive committee.
Since Imperial Tobacco’s acquisition of Altadis a year ago, Aucher has been involved in the integration of both duty free entities.
He told The Moodie Report: “Today, my objective is to find a new challenge within the travel retail industry, considering that tough times call more than ever for solid brand development expertise.”
His new e-mail address: jean-philippe.aucher@wanadoo.fr
