Our governance and management structure

Our governance and management structure

To achieve our ambitions over the next decade and to sustain shared value with our stakeholders, we have put in place a new operating model. This is reflected in a new governance structure.

Our simplified management structure provides a clear framework of responsibilities to empower our teams, ensuring balanced and direct dialogue and faster decision- making.”
Anne‑Marie Poliquin, EVP, Legal and Compliance

Pernod Ricard’s new management structure has been designed to enable faster decision-making and arbitration by facilitating more efficient engagement and direct and balanced dialogue between the Group Headquarters, Global Brands and Management entities. The new structure includes:

  • A newly formed Executive Committee, comprised of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, function and business leaders
  • A newly formed Executive Leadership Team comprised of the Executive Committee and 21 leaders representing key Group functions, the 10 management entities covering all markets, and key global brands.

The structure, which came into effect on 1 September 2023, ensures fewer but more strategic interactions with affiliates. It optimises ways of working, reinforces mutualisation of expertise and promotes empowerment.
