As of April 14, 2020, Yvan Bagnis will join Symrise's Fine Fragrance Division in Paris as Vice President Global Account and New Business Development.
He will be primarily responsible for the global strategy of the PUIG account, as well as for developing new opportunities for Symrise thanks to his recognized experience in Europe. Based in Paris, he joins the team of Michael Betito, Vice President Sales Fine Fragrance Europe, with whom he had previously worked at Firmenich.
"Having Yvan Bagnis join our project is an extraordinary opportunity for the team as he is so well known in the industry. His experience, which makes him one of the greatest professionals in our industry, will be a definite asset to continue our positive spiral for three years now", explains Michael Betito.
With a literary background and a passion for antiques, Yvan Bagnis also developed a passion for the world of perfume and its industry very early on. He has held several key positions in fine fragrance as General Manager Fine Fragrance Europe at Firmenich for twelve years, before joining Drom in 2017 as General Manager Fine Fragrance Europe, and today Symrise.
"I would like to thank Michael Betito and Ricardo Omori, Senior Vice President Global Fine Fragrance, for their confidence. Symrise has demonstrated a strong and assertive strategy over the past few years, thanks to its talented, dedicated and generous teams. Joining their project is a real opportunity to continue to defend the creation and expertise so particular to our beautiful profession," says Yvan Bagnis.
