What:  Olivier Bron, former Galeries Lafayette’s Director of Strategy, takes on a new challenge.

Why it is important: With an experience both as a consultant at Bain and Strategic Director and COO at Galeries Lafayette, Olivier Bron is bringing in a new set of competences to the Thai competitor of IADS member The Mall Group.

Olivier Bron was appointed Director of Strategy for the Galeries Lafayette Group last year and previously led the Galeries Lafayette-BHV network before becoming Director of Group Operations in 2018.

The executive, who had spent more than twelve years at Bain & Company before joining the group led by the Houzé family, will now lead the activity of Central department stores, which have 23 units in Thailand, but also the Robinson brand, which operates about fifty stores in the country and has begun an expansion outside of its borders.
