Alexis Nasard, currently Regional President, Western Europe and Global Chief Marketing Officer, has at an earlier stage indicated his intention to leave HEINEKEN to meet his ambitions outside of the Company. He will leave HEINEKEN on 30 June 2015. Alexis joined HEINEKEN in 2010 as Chief Commercial Officer and assumed his current role in March 2013. Commenting, Jean-François van Boxmeer said, "Alexis has been a very strong leader. As Chief Marketing Officer he step-changed the marketing agenda, with significant progress in innovation and global brands, particularly Heineken®. This culminated in HEINEKEN being awarded Cannes Lions 'Marketer of the Year 2015'. As President of Western Europe, his highly focused strategy based on commercial assertiveness and cost discipline delivered top and bottom line growth and broad market share gains. He leaves HEINEKEN with our genuine thanks and best wishes for his future."
