Cabeau has appointed Christian Rodriguez as its new EMEA/LATAM travel retail Account Manager.

Based in Barcelona, Rodriguez brings travel retail experience from previous Key Account Manager and Area Manager roles with Spanish fashion brand Desigual.

He also worked for Spanish airport electronics operator Crystal Travel Retail in a Business Development capacity.

Rodriguez, who attended the recent TR Consumer Forum in Vienna organised by TRBusiness and m1nd-set, will act as an important interface between Cabeau, its customers and EMEA and LATAM distributors.

Among his objectives, Rodriguez aims to increase business with Cabeau’s existing partners in the regions and work hard to stock its products in all EMEA and LATAM airports.

David Sternlight, CEO, Cabeau said: “We are so fortunate to welcome Christian to our team. We are firmly committed to having people that thrive in our culture and can add to it. Christian does this beautifully.

“He is a respected industry veteran and has well-established relationships within our wonderful travel retail channel.”

Rodriguez added: “I knew Cabeau’s products well having come across them on my travels and at trade shows. I always thought they were extremely innovative.

“It is clear the team places a strong emphasis on research to offer the best products to the end consumer. I am relishing the challenge of consolidating Cabeau’s position as a leader in its field across the EMEA and LATAM regions.”
