“Anne-Laure is a strong addition to our global brand team, with a unique profile that is tailor-made for this role,” said Scott Mellin, global chief brand officer at Salomon. “Salomon is experiencing steady growth and I am confident that Anne-Laure is the right person to develop the communications strategy that will help us bring the brand to new communities around the world.”
