Thibault Cuny, the CEO of Pernod Ricard’s Indian operations, has resigned from his position owing to health concerns. This is a high-profile departure at a time when the firm is battling legal and regulatory issues in India.

Cuny, who has had health issues for a while, will step down from his professional responsibilities but continue working for Pernod.

After leading Pernod Ricard Brazil as president and CEO, Cuny assumed the roles of managing director and CEO of Pernod Ricard South Asia in 2019. For almost 20 years, he has served in numerous leadership capacities with the group.

His departure occurs at a pivotal time for Pernod’s Indian Division, which produces well-known brands including Chivas Regal and Absolut vodka. The business, which is involved in several tax and legal disputes, is India’s second-largest spirits player and competes with Diageo, among others.
