him running Club
Med resorts as
Chef de Village with

600 team members

including The
Bahamas, Egypt,
Morocco, Tunisia,
Morocco, France and
Switzerland. Since
2014, Olivier has
been the sales director in The
Netherlands.
Stuart will be transferring to
Japan where he will run Club

and ceo.
“I know that I am leaving
my awesome team in expert
hands. I wish Olivier all
the very best in his new
challenge,” says Stuart.
