Alan Quasha Report

Richemont is a very interesting company with ties to many countries and to many types of products.  They are a number of the world’s leading companies who manufacture and sell luxury goods.  They are particularly focused in the fields of jewelry, luxury watches and writing instruments.

As one of the members of the Board of Directors of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA, Alan Quasha is responsible, along with the other 14 members, for the strategic direction of the company and the appointment of senior management.  They also prepare the company and group’s financial statements and organize the shareholders’ annual meeting.

The Board of Directors, including Alan Quasha as a Non-Executive Director, represents a unique group.  It consists of leaders from nine countries including Norbert Platt from Germany, Johann Rupert from South Africa, Alain Dominique Perrin from Italy and many others.

While some business people like to be in the limelight, others prefer to work behind the scenes. Alan Quasha explains, for Leaders magazine, that he has always preferred to do his business quietly and to let the new CEO who comes in take the credit and the publicity.

One of the charitable organizations where Quasha works to make an impact is the Brain Trauma Foundation. Through his own experience, with a son who went into a coma due to a traumatic brain injury, Quasha learned a great deal about TBI and became involved with the organization. He is the Chairman of the Brain Trauma Foundation, where he brings his vast business experience to help the 5.3 million Americans who currently live with disabilities resulting from traumatic brain injuries.
