Management changes at Pernod Ricard Germany

Drossé, who joined Pernod Ricard Germany in 2008 as Head of Key Account Management, was promoted to Managing Director Sales & Trade Marketing in 2012. Since then, he has contributed significantly to the growth of Pernod Ricard Germany and has played a key role in the positioning and distribution of its comprehensive portfolio. Sales and market shares were significantly expanded under his sales management, thus consolidating the company's leading position as number one in the German market. He also played a significant role in the success story of the Lillet brand.

After eleven years as Managing Director at Pernod Ricard Germany, Drossé is now looking for a new professional challenge and wants to take the next step: "Change is part of life - Full of pride for my team and with great emotions, I am leaving Pernod Ricard Germany after 15 years with a good feeling!"

Julien Hemard, Managing Director Pernod Ricard Germany: "As a true 'créateur de convivialité', Thomas took over the responsibility for key account management and field sales in the on- and off-trade, for e-commerce and trade marketing and built up a dedicated and highly motivated team as well as strong customer relationships. We would like to take this opportunity to thank him for 15 years of passion, conviviality and performance and also wish him all the best personally for the future."

Pernod Ricard Germany will report on the appointment of the new Managing Director Sales and Trade Marketing at a later date.
