Roger Fordyce is stepping down from his position as CEO of Hudson Group, effective June 30, after more than 30 with the company. He will be succeeded by Jordi Martin-Consuegra, who is currently executive v-p, chief administrative officer, and deputy CEO. Fordyce will continue to work with Hudson in an advisory capacity.
Owned by Dufry, the international travel and airport retailer, Hudson operates more than 1,000 stores in airports, commuter hubs, landmarks and tourist destinations in North America. The company's divisions include Hudson Booksellers, Hudson News and ink. by Hudson.
Julián Díaz, CEO of Dufry, expressed gratitude to Fordyce for his "longstanding leadership and his commitment to delivering strong short-term and long-term performance results across the company.... We look forward to continuing to benefit from Roger's valuable support in his advisory role."
Martin-Consuegra has been with Hudson and Dufry for 15 years, and is currently a member of Hudson's executive committee. He was directly involved in leading business integrations of several newly acquired companies for Dufry, including the acquisition of Hudson in 2008, in partnership with Fordyce and the Hudson management team, the company said.
When Martin-Consuegra becomes CEO on July 1, Brian Quinn, currently executive v-p and COO, responsible for the operational performance of Hudson's stores in North America, will become deputy CEO.
