Interview: Jean-Marie Laborde, CEO, Rémy Cointreau

EDITOR’S NOTE: When Jean-Marie Laborde took the helm at Rémy Cointreau in 2004, the company looked much different than it does today. Its holdings were far more diverse back then, but it had less control over its core business as its global distribution was in the hands of Maxxium, a four-way joint venture overseeing a vast array of products.
