About Rémi RAMAT

Rémi Ramat, publicly identified as Cédric Ramat in the available sources, serves at Pernod Ricard as Executive Vice President, Human Resources at group level, with some company materials also associating him with Sustainability & Responsibility responsibilities. His career is firmly rooted in human resources leadership, organizational transformation, and international management. He began his professional path at Microsoft as a Training & Compensation Manager before moving into the consumer goods and beverages sector through Orangina and later Pernod Ricard. Company biographies indicate that he has spent more than 30 years within the Orangina and Pernod Ricard ecosystem, giving him deep experience in corporate culture, post-merger integration, and large-scale change management. Within Pernod Ricard, he has held several senior HR leadership roles in France and the Americas, including HR Director for Pernod Ricard Americas before moving into global responsibilities. His appointment to the group’s top HR role reflects the company’s emphasis on aligning people strategy with business strategy, talent development, and organizational performance. In interviews and company communications, he presents HR as a business-critical function that must be involved early in strategic design rather than acting only as a support department. He has also been associated with the digital transformation of HR processes, greater organizational transparency, and the modernization of working practices. During the pandemic, he spoke publicly about Pernod Ricard’s rapid HR adaptation, including the acceleration of hybrid work practices and a planned reduction in business travel, with a stronger focus on purposeful in-person meetings with customers and consumers. His leadership style emphasizes conviviality, international mobility, and cultural cohesion across a global group with a broad portfolio of brands and geographies. His expertise spans talent management, HR transformation, change leadership, multicultural organization building, and the ability to translate a global corporate culture into local action across markets.
