INTERNATIONAL. Motta Internacional CEO Erasmo Orillac has been elected as Chairman of the Board of the International Association of Airport Duty Free Stores (IAADFS).

He fills the unexpired term of Alberto Motta Jr., who passed away in April.

The IAADFS Board of Directors voted to change the association’s bylaws to retitle the role of Chief Volunteer Leader to Chairman of the Board and retitle the role of Chief Staff Executive to President & CEO. As such, Michael Payne has been named President & CEO of the association.

IAADFS said its aim was to provide more clarity on leadership and governance roles.

Orillac’s term as Chairman expires in 2018. He has been a member of the IAADFS Board of Directors since 2005 and has occupied several key roles on the Board, including chair of the Audit Committee and member of the Membership Review Committee.

“Erasmo’s experience on the IAADFS Board, his knowledge of the duty free market in Latin America, and his relationships with the supplier community will all be valuable assets as he serves in the role of IAADFS Board Chairman,” said IAADFS President & CEO Michael Payne.

Orillac commented: “I am very happy to continue working with Michael, who has been serving in his role since 1991, and who brings much knowledge and experience to the association.”
