Press release
Our company was supported (ou backed up) by a Restructuring Committee since May, 2009. After one year of activity, this Committee reaches the term of its mission at the end of this month. Its action allowed de GRISOGONO to prepare itself for the next step of its development.
de GRISOGONO has appointed Mr Gérald Roden to the position of General Manager with the title of Chief Executive Officer to further pursue the action of the Committee.
Fawaz Gruosi remains President and Executive Director of de GRISOGONO.
After a successful start out in various (some/several) watch-making companies in France as Sales Manager, Mr Roden pursued his career as Chief Executive Officer of the Swiss subsidiary of a Hong-Kong based watch-making company. Then, he joined the headquarters of this company in Hong-Kong as Brands General Manager and, thus developed a solid expertise of Asian markets.
Concerned by taking up new challenges, he pursued his career with Daniel Roth SA, Le Sentier, as Managing Director. Further to the company's buy-out by the Bulgari Group in 2000, Mr Roden was promoted to the position of President and CEO of Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta.
After a very positive edition of Baselworld, Mr Roden's arrival will allow the de GRISOGONO Group to further continue its development towards its ambitious targets (objectives).
