We are delighted to welcome two new members to the Fondation’s Board of Directors, Catherine Sardin and Muriel Suarez, in November 2024.

Catherine Sardin graduated from the EDHEC business school with a master’s degree in marketing. After 2 years in Milan with LVMH, Catherine pursued her career with Levi Strauss, before joining LVMH again, first with Louis Vuitton and then Berluti as Marketing & Communications Director. She moved on to general management and consultancy positions in several houses, including J.M Weston, Maison Lejaby and Alaia. More recently, she joined Roger Vivier as General Director before taking over the management of Maison Psyché, the Rémy Cointreau Group‘s haute parfumerie house, in 2023. Catherine brings a wealth of experience in brand development and a passion for French know-how and excellence, making her a valued asset to the Board.

Muriel Suarez holds a Master 2 in Contract Law from the University of Paris XI. After a year in Canada as Assistant to the President of the Canadian Government, Muriel continued her career at Kering and in 2002 she joined L’Oréal France and then Spain. She subsequently moved to Reckitt Benckiser, Henkel, and COTY as Vice President General Counsel. Since 2021, Muriel holds the position of Group General Legal and Regulatory Affairs Director for the Rémy Cointreau Group, and she also acts as Secretary of the Fondation Rémy Cointreau since 2022. Her involvement with the Foundation naturally makes her appointment to the Board an obvious choice.

Fondation Rémy Cointreau is pleased to welcome My-Linh Ta Van as Patronage Project Coordinator from 1st July 2024.

My-Linh will be responsible for coordinate and monitoring the Foundation’s projects, artisans, and partnerships. She will also be responsible for the administrative management of all files, and for organizing projects across all networks with stakeholders.

In this new role, she will help to coordinate the Foundation’s activities alongside the Delegate General, Caroline MARTIN-RILHAC.

Fondation Rémy Cointreau is pleased to welcome Joséphine Morel for her work-study year alongside its team, as a communication assistant.

She has recently finished a Cultural and Arts communication master’s degree, undertook because of her interest in craft, also shared by her family.

With a desire to expand her knowledge and discover the actors of this ecosystem, Joséphine has joined the team to contribute to the valorisation of the Transmission of all projects supported by the Foundation under the direction of Caroline Martin-Rilhac, Delegate General.

Thanks to this opportunity, she will contribute to highlight craftsmen and will promote fine crafts and the historical heritage they represent.

Since the 6^th of October 2021, Fondation Rémy Cointreau is pleased to welcome Marc-Henri Bernard, the Human Resources Director of Group Rémy Cointreau, as a new member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors.

With a Master degree in law, administration and human resources, he worked during thirty years for several international groups such as Essilor International, les Laboratoires Takeda, PepsiCo or Christofle. Because of his investment in his job, he also has been trained to be a Coach and he is a member of the ANDRH (Association Nationale des Directeurs des Ressources Humaines).

The Professional motivations of Marc-Henri Bernard

Marc-Henri Bernard has started his career as an athlete into the French Handball Team. This first professional life and all the values related to it, has inspired him since the beginning of his professional experiences. Today, he is convicted that the sport values can be an inspiration for the corporate life. So, he encourages Groupe Rémy Cointreau’s collaborators to work considering this approach.

He is also attached to three terms: passion, meaning and action. As the Human Resources Director, he is convicted that those three words make the corporate life easier and beneficial. So, he tries to implement those terms every day with his collaborators as he thinks that each member of the Groupe Rémy Cointreau is a part of the evolution of the firm. In this way, the social diversity and the social inclusion are, for him, driving forces that contribute to the evolution and the fulfilment of the Group.

To conclude, Marc-Henri Bernard implements sport values in his everyday job guided by passion, meaning and action.

The Fondation Rémy Cointreau as the realisation of Marc-Henri Bernard’s motivations

Fondation Rémy Cointreau has appeared as an evidence for Marc-Henri Bernard because its mission is to support, in France and abroad, initiatives of general interest in order to showcase and convey invaluable savoir-faire and expertise.

It gathers passionate craftsmen who concretely act or create through their know-how. Their process of research, of creation and of realisation give meaningful production specific to each craftsman.

Fondation Rémy Cointreau is pleased to welcome Isaure de L’Estoile as the Sponsorship Project Manager since the 6^th of September.

With a Master of Science from EDHEC Business School in Creative Business and Social Innovation and a Master degree in Art Market Management, she started her career at Fondation des Bernardins in Paris as a Fundraising Manager.

Art and crafts have been her passion since always and especially since her bachelor degree in restoration and conservation of historical heritage. That’s why she is so attached to the knowledge of a know-how and its transmission.

Close to values of Fondation Rémy Cointreau, she will help to enhance all the projects supported alongside the Delegate General, Caroline Martin-Rilhac.

We are delighted to welcome 2 new members to the Fondation’s Board of Directors, Fanny Chtromberg and Lucille Bosc, on the 30th of June 2020.

Lucille Bosc holds a Master of Science from the London School of Economics (LSE) and a Master of Arts from the Annenberg School (USC) in Los Angeles. She has held various positions in the audiovisual industry (ITV, M6) for more than 16 years. Professionally and by personal taste, she is interested in people, for their trajectories and their experiences. Thanks to her family history, she is obviously very sensitive to the idea of transmission, heritage and know-how. Mother of three little girls, she respects the expertise that everyone develops and nurtures before passing it on to the next generations.

Fanny Chtromberg started her professional career with the Group L’Oréal in product development (France, Asia) where she stayed for 13 years. In 2012, she joins Louis Vuitton where she will be in charge of the development of men’s leather goods division. Nourished by the construction of brands and their stories over time, she cultivates an assumed affection for the age-old know-how that she comes into contact with through her various experiences (researchers, tanners, leatherworkers…). Since 2017, she has been the International Director of the Cointreau brand. Fanny draws inspiration from the brand’s DNA to perpetuate the transmission of 170 years of orange liqueur. Since 2020, Fanny has also been appointed Marketing Intelligence Director for the group.

We are delighted to welcome a new member to the Fondation’s Board of Directors, David Caméo, who is an expert in applied arts.

David Caméo was technical advisor for museums, plastic arts and the development of arts education to the French Minister of Culture Catherine Trautmann (1998-2000), technical advisor for museums and plastic arts to Catherine Tasca (2000-2001), and technical advisor for culture to Prime Minister Lionel Jospin (2001-2002). In 2002 he was appointed Inspector General for artistic creation, arts education and cultural action.

In 2003 David Caméo was appointed Managing Director of Manufacture nationale de Sèvres, then in 2010 of the public institution Cité de la Céramique-Sèvres (which in 2012 became Cité de la Céramique-Sèvres et Limoges), before leaving in 2014 to become Managing Director of the Arts Décoratifs museum.
