New CEO for cosmetics group Alès
France-based company the Alès Groupe will take on a new CEO next month as the founder Patrick Alès steps down.
While Bernard Flobert will take on the CEO position, Patrick Alès will remain president of the board of directors.
According to Alès, the appointment is related to the need for the group to modernise and further drive commercial development.
“The development of the Alès Group can only happen if we know how to modernise our ways of working and construct good innovation policies and commercial development. Since last December I have been able to appreciate Bernard Flobert, the man, his professional qualities, his commitment and his impact within the group” he said.
The group, which holds brands such as Phyto and Lierac, had sales of €165m in 2009.
