FIN elects new chairman
By IBI Magazine
The French Nautical Industries Federation (FIN) has elected Thierry Verneuil of the watersport company Bic Sport to be the organisation's new chairman.
The vote took place at FIN's general meeting on Wednesday March 12. Verneuil succeeds Annette Roux, who did not wish to stand again after 15 years as head of the organisation.
Verneuil joined the Bic group in 1986 as CEO of Bic Sport and has been its president since 1997.
A member of FIN's board of directors since 1999, Verneuil became treasurer four years ago.
The new chairman says he intends to continue Roux's direction. He aims to tackle the lack of berths and to promote sailing activities.
The general meeting also saw the promotion of Philippe Fourrier to the position of CEO, succeeding Tibor Sillinger. He was previously executive director for six years.
