Le Coq Sportif welcomed into its team Antoine Tinel, who was put in charge of international sales except for subsidiaries, that is Italy, Spain and Great Britain. He succeeds Géraud Maréchal, who left for Coalision to lead the European expansion of Canadian brand Lolë.

At the end of 2014, Antoine Tinel launched Pilot-Fish with Arnaud Gaillard, working on the distribution of Californian brands. He has now delegated its operations entirely, to his partner of course.

Before being involved in the distribution of various brands, Atelier Scotch among them, through his own organisation, Anomalie, Antoine Tinel was Director of the Fashion division of The Lifestyle Company between 2007 and 2011. For the distributor, he was notably in charge of Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, Barbour and K-Way. He then stepped down from the role to lead European sales for Façonnable.

At Le Coq Sportif, he will report to Frédéric Bazin. As a reminder, last spring Edouard Cabaret was appointed France Country Manager for the French sports outfitter.
