Paula Thomas here and I am thrilled to be back today interviewing the ACCOR Group – a brand that is joining us today for their fifth interview on the show.
And in fact, ACCOR is the most frequent brand we’ve interviewed on our show, given the incredibly generous insights we’ve had over the years directly from Mehdi Hemici, the Chief Loyalty and eCommerce officer of ACCOR.
Mehdi joins me again today along with Emilie Couton, the CEO of ACCOR Plus, the subscription product from the ACCOR Group, which you’ll hear today is going from strength to strength!
Today is also my penultimate episode as a host of our show.
I’m hanging up my microphone after six years of conducting interviews to allow our global panel of hosts to continue creating remarkable content for you.
It will also allow me time to focus on growing our business, and I’ll be doing from behind the scenes.
Exciting times ahead!
I hope you enjoy my interview today with Mehdi Hemici and Emilie Couton from the ACCOR Group.
