INTERVIEW – Former marketing director of McDonald's France, he took over a Belgian company emerging from crisis in mid-December. With prospects of regained profitability starting this year, Exki's new CEO has his work cut out for him. But even in the heart of a particularly competitive market, Xavier Royaux displays a communicative optimism: "I have learned in the past to always be glad to have strong competitors."

Just weeks after stepping down as CEO of Exki, Stan Monheim is returning to the travel retail sector as Managing Director of SSP France, Belgium and Luxembourg.
