The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) has appointed Adrien Thominet to its Board of Directors, representing the Global GSA seat.
Adrien Thominet brings a wealth of experience, beginning his career as Commercial Director at FICOFI, a luxury brand specialising in Bordeaux ‘grands crus’ fine wines. He later managed the Yokohama Film Festival while working with UniFrance Film in Tokyo. Entering the air cargo industry in 1995 as Commercial Manager for ECS Group, Adrien advanced steadily, becoming Chief Operating Officer in 2011, according to the official release from TIACA.
“The Board is very purposeful when selecting new Board members as we must have a clear representation across the industry to ensure all issues our industry is facing are addressed. Adrien Thominet is a great leader who has had plenty of experience at a leading global GSSA. We look forward to working with him and we are sure he will have plenty to contribute,” says Steven Polmans, Chair, TIACA.
Adrien fills the seat vacated by Bertrand Schmolls who served for five years and played a major role in helping steer TIACA through the transformation process. Bertrand was recognised for his Board contributions during the annual Board dinner. The association currently has a Board seat open for a representative from the Shipping category, the release added.
