Michelin Reorganises Top-Level Personnel

Hervé Coyco, Michelin Group Executive Council member responsible for worldwide car sales, will takeover responsibility for the running of Michelin’s Asia Pacific operations from Jean-Marc Francois. Francois is taking a year out to complete an MBA course before returning to the company in order to pursue other leadership positions.

As a result Thierry Coudurier, already a member of the Group Executive Council, will take over Mr Coyco’s leadership of passenger car light-truck tyres worldwide and additionally will take responsibility for the company’s European aftermarket business, which is currently run by Pete Selleck.

Mr Selleck will become a member of the Group Executive Council and take responsibility for worldwide commercial vehicle tyre sales. Meanwhile Laszlo Toth will oversee CV tyre sales in the Africa/Middle East region.
