(Togo First) - Thierry Feraud is since 2016 the managing director of the Lomé-based brewery BB (subsidiary of Castel Group). Before that, he was head of the commercial department at Brasseries STAR in Madagascar.

Under his management, the BB regained momentum and held its own against counterfeiting and the invasion of the Togolese market by numerous imported beers and drinks. His next challenge is to preserve the brewer's monopoly which is threatened by rival SNB which recently entered the Togolese market.
