skills, coupled with his strategic, commercial and marketing
insights, will be very valuable assets in driving continued growth
in the Asia Pacific region. I welcome Dolf to the Executive Team
and look forward to working directly with him."

Executive Team for eight years and has made a significant
contribution to our business. As President Asia Pacific for the
past three years, he has driven strong top and bottom-line results

has made it the €1 billion brand it is today. Prior to his
current job in Asia Pacific, Frans was instrumental in driving
efficiencies and cost savings as the company's Chief Business

significant value to the business in his new role."
