Vinexpo has announced that Rodolphe Lameyse will start as Vinexpo chief executive officer on 16 April.

Vinexpo said he will use his background in international exhibition management to develop the Vinexpo brand worldwide.

It also said Lameyse will be supported by a “close-knit team who have demonstrated unique know-how and success in creating specialist events” in the wine and spirits sector.

Christophe Navarre, president of Vinexpo, said Lameyse’s “expertise and understanding of key markets will enable The Vinexpo Group to increase its development and boost market shares".

Before joining Vinexpo, Lameyse was based in Singapore, and managed the Food & Hotel Asia portfolio, Asia’s largest trade show dedicated to food, beverage and hotel equipment, for the Informa Group.

“Vinexpo has grown thanks to the quality of the offer available at each of its shows, the relevance of its content, and the return on investment it generates,” said Lameyse.

“We’ll continue to expand Vinexpo shows together, in France and internationally, and provide our customers with solutions, in order to cement our role as the global leader for all players in the international wine and spirits sector.”
