Adrien Thominet was born in 1972 in Paris, France. After graduating in business economics, Adrien started his career in New York as Commercial Director at FICOFI, a luxury brand promoting Bordeaux ‘grands crus’ fine wines globally. Adrien then worked for UniFrance Film in Tokyo where he managed the Yokohama Film Festival.
In 1995, Adrien joined ECS Group as Commercial Manager of the company’s Aero Cargo business unit, where he subsequently became Managing Director. In 2009, Adrien accepted the challenge of leading the commercial development of the Group, before his appointment in 2011 as Chief Operating Officer.
In 2017 ECS Group nominates Adrien as Executive Chairman to fully align with the transformative needs of their partners and clients and support them to navigate the shift to compete in the digital economy. Adrien has helped the group to develop its service offering, in particular its Total Cargo Management offering, enabling airlines to delegate all of their freight activities to the group, from A to Z. His drive to invest in digital technology and make the group a leader in this area has also helped to make this service offering possible thanks to cutting- edge tools that maximize performance.
In 2021, in the midst of a pandemic, he became Executive Chairman of the Group. With his long experience and knowledge of the aviation industry, he enabled the Group to get through the crisis by implementing a new strategy: the «Augmented GSSA», which takes into account digitalization and the challenge of sustainability. He thus ushers ECS Group into a new era.
