Tarkett, a worldwide leader in innovative and sustainable flooring and sports surface solutions, announced today the evolution of its Executive Management Committee with the appointments of Eddy Schmitt, President and CEO of Tarkett Sports and Winn Everhart, President and CEO of Tarkett North America.
Fabrice Barthélemy, CEO of Tarkett, said: « I am delighted to welcome Eddy and Winn to our Executive Management Committee. Both bring extensive experience in successful business management and are joining winning teams in our Sports and North America divisions. Together with their teams, they will build upon the strong foundations established and will contribute to further extend Tarkett’s global leadership. I would like to thank Eric Daliere for his outstanding contribution to Tarkett over the past 15 years.”
Eric Daliere, previously President and CEO of Tarkett Sports and Tarkett’s flooring division in North America, has recently announced his decision to leave the company. Eric leaves behind him an immense legacy, two very strong businesses and high performing teams. Since he joined Tarkett in 2009, Eric has led the Tarkett Sports business to become a one-billion-dollar business and a global leader. In mid-2020, Eric took on the additional responsibility of leading Tarkett’s North American flooring division. Since then, the turnaround has been well established, and growth has resumed significantly.
