ECS Group chief executive and executive chairman Adrien Thominet has been appointed to serve on the International Air Cargo Association’s (TIACA) board of directors.
Filling the seat for a global GSA, Thominet brings diverse experience and knowledge to the post. At the start of his career he worked as commercial director at FICOFI, a luxury brand promoting Bordeaux ‘grands crus’ fine wines globally. Thominet then worked for UniFrance Film in Tokyo, where he managed the Yokohama Film Festival.
He eventually joined the air cargo industry in 1995 as commercial manager for ECS Group. He has now worked for ECS Group for more than 25 years, becoming its chief operating officer in 2011 and then chief executive in 2017. In 2021, he also took on the role of executive chairman.
“The Board is very purposeful when selecting new Board members as we must have a clear representation across the industry to ensure all issues our industry is facing are addressed,” said Steven Polmans, TIACA chair.
“Adrien Thominet is a great leader who has had plenty of experience at a leading global GSSA. We look forward to working with him and we are sure he will have plenty to contribute.”
Thominet fills the seat vacated by Bertrand Schmolls, who served for five years and played a valuable role in helping steer TIACA through its transformation process.
TIACA currently has a board seat open for a representative from the shipping category. Additional seats may become available as current board terms end.
