Magdeleine Allaume is a
graduate of HEC and has been immersed in the world of wine since
childhood. She holds Wine & Spirit Education Trust Level 1 and
Level 2 certification and is passionate about wine and the unique
emotion it can spark.
Magdeleine Allaume began her career in a
consulting firm before joining the Bénéteau Group, where she held
several executive positions over 17 years in purchasing, supply,
program management and operations. She now explores the alchemy
between wine and wood at the helm of the cooperage firm Seguin
Moreau since January 2022. She is also a member of the Executive
Board of Oeneo Group. In June 2024, Magdeleine Allaume was also
elected President of the French Coopers Federation (Fédération des
tonneliers de France).
Magdeleine brings to the Board of Directors her
industry experience and expertise and her enriching knowledge of
the world of wine.
“I joined AdVini’s Board of Directors to
work for a team who values the same things I do: a strong in-house
culture, individual identity, a focus on family and a commitment to
the environment. It is also an opportunity for me to gain a
comprehensive vision of the sector.”
Catherine Hostein has held the
role of Executive President for the last seven years at Nutrimaine
France, which owns the famous powdered chocolate, coffee and
cappuccino brands Banania, Benco, Columbus and Dolce Vita. For most
of her career she has occupied executive sales and marketing roles,
including positions at the American multinational Procter &
Gamble.
Catherine Hostein completed the Board Director
certificate program at Sciences Po Paris and holds a business
degree from ESC Amiens. She plays an active role on the Supervisory
Board of the German international group Krüger, sole shareholder of
Nutrimaine, as a result of her position there for the last 13
years. Ms Hostein brings to AdVini over 30 years of expertise in
consumer goods.
“I am pleased to join AdVini’s Board of
Directors and thank the members of the Board for their
trust.I highly value the focus that AdVini places on
family, authenticity and people. I am thrilled at the chance to
contribute to the Group’s future success and sustainable long-term
growth.”
Philippe Chapuis is a member of
the French Academy of Agriculture. He built his career at the
French banking group Crédit Agricole, where he has held executive
business banking roles at several regional Crédit Agricole banks,
along with financial management roles. He was General Director of
the banking group’s subsidiary Foncaris and went on to become
Director of the Agri-Food Division, France and Europe.
This extensive, cross-sector experience has
enabled Philippe Chapuis to become a recognized expert in the
agricultural and agri-food industries – and the wine industry in
particular. An inveterate marathon runner and passionate about
contemporary art and wine in equal measure, Mr Chapuis considers
the opportunity to offer AdVini his excellent knowledge of the wine
business as a culminating point in his career.
“I met Antoine Leccia at the FEVS (Fédération des
Exportateurs de Vins & Spiritueux) over ten years ago,
and the wine market has been an ongoing conversation between us
since. We share the same vision and appreciate one another as
people, which is why I immediately accepted the request to join the
Board.The Board of Directors at AdVini plays its role
perfectly, in a relaxed and friendly approach, and I am thrilled to
be a part of it.”
Antoine Leccia, Chair of the Board
of Directors, indicated:
“The new members of the Board of Directors bring a wealth of
experience and expertise to our strategic thinking. I
warmly thank Magdeleine, Catherine and Philippe for agreeing to
join us. AdVini is lucky to have such exceptional professionals on
its Board of Directors.
I am also deeply touched by what we have accomplished with
Rachel and Christophe in recent years. Your commitment to AdVini
has been an example for all. The Board and AdVini’s teams join me
in expressing our heartfelt thanks to you.”
