TFWA APPOINTS FRANÇOIS JULLIEN TO EXHIBITIONS ROLE

TFWA is pleased to announce the appointment of François Jullien to the role of Exhibitions Director in charge of Commercial & Logistics at TFWA following the departure of Mathieu Vanhalst.

Jullien took up his appointment on 4^th November 2013 and is based in Paris reporting to Alain Maingreaud, Managing Director.

François Jullien has worked for more than 20 years in business-to-business communications, helping leading brands to deliver their messages through press, exhibitions, conferences, workshops and events. From entrepreneur to contractor for leading trade fairs, Jullien has embraced the whole spectrum of exhibition design, commercialisation and logistics.

Most recently, Jullien was an independent Operations and Program Director and his projects in this role included the launch of a premium event dedicated to digital mobility, IT and human resources for Comexposium in Paris.

Mathieu Vanhalst left TFWA at the end of September after seven years to take up a new position as travel retail manager for Paris and Singapore-based fashion and accessories distributor, ALD International.

Alain Maingreaud: “Mathieu has been a valuable member of the TFWA team. We will miss his professional and energetic approach and we wish him all the best in his new position.

“We are delighted to have found in François Jullien a replacement who has all the attributes of a fine Exhibitions Director.”

TFWA is taking this opportunity to reorganise its permanent team and reinforce the new Exhibitions Department with the management of the customer relations function. At the same time, and in order to further strengthen the relationship and communication with the members of TFWA, all corporate functions have been put together in a Corporate Department reporting to John Rimmer, Conference, Research and Corporate Affairs Director.

The Marketing Department continues to be led by Cécile Lamotte, Marketing Director, the Information Technology Department by Ana Homawoo, IT Director, and the Finance Department by Sylvie Guigue, Finance Manager.
