One-hundred and fifty collectors have the opportunity to acquire HENNESSY X.O decanters created by the great Frank Gehry…
No less an authority than Vanity Fair once called him “the most important architect of our age.” It was no exaggeration Frank Gehry, designer of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao among other masterworks, has more than lived up to the moniker. On his library shelf he has the pleasure of gazing upon the Pritzker Prize, the National Medal of Arts, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Légion d’honneur, among other achievements. And alongside them he can now place a decanter of one of the world’s finest cognacs, that is a sculptural masterpiece in its own right.
Spirit of leadership: Thomas Bouleuc, MD of Moët Hennessy Diageo Malaysia & Singapore Share
Thomas Bouleuc’s career spans across top global companies – L’Oréal, McKinsey and Moët Hennessy and this reflection: “With each job I had, I thought I had the best job in the world”. In July 2019, he journeyed to Malaysia to assume the role of Managing Director of Moët Hennessy Diageo Malaysia (MHD). Little did he know, he would find himself in uncharted waters as the country (and half of the world) goes into a lockdown eight months in.
His prudence and astuteness have provided a crackling stimulus for the company and, dare we say it, the luxury wines and spirit market. Fuelled by the spirit of conquest, MHD Malaysia pulled through 2020 by adapting to the changes brought by the pandemic with his discerning guidance and people-driven approach. In March this year, Thomas was also entrusted with managing the distributing and brand-building of the MHD portfolio in Singapore.
